the sunlight shows off the feather colours and patterns very well. Nice background too. Would maybe benefit from a bit more space on the left, but no big deal.

Very good Scott. The perch especially on the left just a bit too bright and slightly distracting. I would be tempted to tone it down a bit. :toast:

The lighting is great, but it doesn’t look quite right to me, there are no appreciable shadows.

A tad on the large side for me, but still an excellent capture.

I do like this, nice bright and colourful backgrounds adds to the picture, hoever I do agree with Rays comments, have you run it through Shadow/Highlight by any chance?

nice shot all the same

cheers

Hi Colin, no didn't run it through shadow/highlight, I'm not up to speed with photoshop yet! Are you suggesting I should have done this?
