A beautifully detailed portrait Dennis and I love the way your perch echoes the contours of the bird but I have to say I find the background too dark and somewhat overpowering.

An attractive portrait, Dennis, but I think it would look even better if you selectively raised the luminocity of the background and darker tones. The colours also looks a little flat so I wonder if you have converted the file to sRGB for posting.

Couple of nits covered but this is a very nice image in my eyes.

Very interesting perch and the pose is ideal to my mind. The Bg is darkening the whole shot a lot though as mentioned.

Nits covered, I love the perch and pose and position in the frame is ideal.
