Hi Paul

What a little beauty - the pose and light are perfect. A little more space at the bottom would have been good but a minor point on a very nice image!

Super strong portrait Paul, ideally would prefer a lower viewpoint. :toast: :toast:

Stunning detail. Really beautiful. Might be tempted to remove the small black patch on the left as I find my eye is drawn to it as it is in line with the beak and eye. Very minor nit though. :toast: :toast:

I wish I'd known you were posting this before I put mine on! A delightful shot, I especially like that highlight in the eye.

A little tight on the bottom but the bird itself is superb. :toast:

I also think it is a bit tight on the bottom but otherwise a great portrait. :smile:

What a sweet bird, a bit more space at bottom for me, nice shot though.

Thank you for the comments and a slight adjustment to the canvas here is a re-post for comment.

A very strong portrait

Definitely prefer the composition of the repost Paul but the colours in the bird seem to have lightened. Sorry to be so picky but I prefer the colours in the first image :biggrin: :wink:

Paul the original is just fine but the cloning of the second appears to have gone wrong.
The detail in the birds eye has gone a bit wonky.
I would have just cloned the black blob and left the bird alone.
Hope you se what I mean.

Major.
