I'm mystified as to why this shot has had 178 views and only 1 comment
It's a lovely shot Keith, very nice pose, colours and the beakfull of food finishes it off. A bit more of a catchlight in the eye would have been nice and maybe the bird is slightly too central, but otherwise very nice.

Agree with catchlight comment although it looks like theres a small amount of light there,maybe that could be emphasised a little.theres lots to like about this especially the yellow patches I think these work very well with the bird and fill the empty spaces.Pose, detail and food item all look good. If it had more perch I would probably include as it might help give a little more ballance.

I like it very much Keith - it's a beautiful bird, I agree perhaps it is a bit too central, and perhaps could just be sharpened a little more.
