Good detail Lea, although it's a little too far to the left for my liking. That's a personal thing though.

The composition is just about right for me. The autumnal yellow background sets the tit off to a `t`. Lovely job!

I really like these "over the shoulder" poses, this one works quite well. I may of added a touch more canvas to the left, but as Ian says, its just a personal view.

Works nicely for me, the eye is bang on a third, and the pose is beautiful.

Works for me, my only nit is that the perch is a bit too 'heavy' for a delicate bird...

Lovely detail and pose Lea. Only suggestion would be to clone out the catchlight in the water droplet behind the eye as it just draws a bit of attention :smile:
Posted by Tom Dolezal on November 15, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Very nice shot, relly nice detail and like how the bg complements the fg very well. Agree with Magnus's point on the catchlight.
