very nice pose and detail and the background is quite special, but i am not sure about the upward viewpoint

Good picture I think. I don't mind the upward view. It's something different. Most of the time you see only front views.

Nice pose with the foot just poking out the plumage, and the lighting must of been soft to make the front not to dark or the edges over exposed which is nice.

A nice looking portrait with different plumage than I'm used to seeing
