Nice look at this guy. Everything looks top notch, except the saturation looks a bit much, especially the greens. I would tone down the greens a bit.

Fine look at this bird, Paul, set against a nicely oof but very attractive background. (If you're using Photoshop, I'd say reduce the yellow by about 10 pts and maybe the green by 5 - 10, the changes are subtle, but noticeable.

Sharp detail and a well managed exposure Paul.
Nice BG contrast, the bird stands out very well :toast:

Nice pose and detail, Paul. The image looks a bit oversaturated to my eye.
