Lots of detail in there John and a cracking pose. I'd like just a smidgen more room on the left if possible.

That's very nice John, the bird's pose has solved the usual problem of where to put that long tail :toast:

Interesting - I actually took some off the left before I posted ! At least there's plenty on the original.
Cheers

A lovely bird John, well recorded.

LHS is a bit tight for me and good eye contact. I am sure you have seen the family on BGuides POTW this week...worth a look.

Cheers

LHS a little tight for me too but it doesn't spoil another lovely portrait.
