Wonderful shot Cheryl! Perfect colours, composition and BG all set off by great low angle to give this classic 'aloof' look these birds do so well!! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Outstanding shot, Cheryl. I might like the right edge just inside the neckline and the same amount of extra room on the left side. Pretty picky for such a beautiful image.

This is Perfect in my book. You handled everything quite well here, exposure, comp, sharpness, BG, etc. I like how you pulled the black eye with highlight out of that black background of head feathers. Many times the black eye is lost in a black head.

Congrats!!!

Beautiful colors. The composition rocks!! I love how the lines run diagonally through the frame. :)
