Incredible detail in the large version and I love the over the 'back' pose and the killer low POV - wonderful image :toast:

Love the over the should pose this bird is giving you. I also like the low point of view.
Everything is nice and sharp where it needs it. Well done. :toast:

With that pose and those eyes I know what he is thinking, "what the hell are you looking at buddy". Like everything about this image. The earthy browns are pleasing.

This species is incredibly cute, and the pose here really emphasizes that. The light seems a bit harsh, but I'm not certain if you can or could do anything about it. Nicely sharp and the low angle really adds pop. Great work.
