What an interesting looking bird! I like how you put the bird to the side of the image, other than right in the middle. Great picture!

Beautiful bird - excellent pose, exceptional detail, great eye with catchlight - and love those feet and tongue!
The BG blurring didn't work very well near it's right foot, and is lessening the detail along the bird's edges in other places.

What a beautiful little bird. Love its tongue, looks like its longer than the beak. Well composed as well, Charles.

A lovely subject, and nice BG color to show it off. I agree with Sandy about the selection edges.
