Beautiful shot! Love the neck on the bird and curled tail feathers. That splash of color of the flower and sublte background make for a gorgeous shot!

One of your best from a great collection. The colour, the flower, the pose, the background all tops...I would sell those flowers

fantastic image. The blacks look a bit like you tried to pull them up to get more detail. I think you went a bit to far and some curves adjustment on the bird would help to make it look a bit darker and not so washed out
