I think I would trim a little off the top, but otherwise a very nice portrait.

Hi Paul

like the bird but not keen on the bright background, seems a bit too light possibly

Nice image Paul . I agree with a slice off the top and the brightness of the background .The other things I would add is the dirty beak ,the shadow under the bird and birds angle .The BG is a cracker for texture and the sharpness is spot on where needed .

Lovely portrait. The background colour is really nice but I agree about cropping a little off the top. :smile:
