Harvey, the bird realy pops against this great BG. Love the detail. I think it needs a bit morm room on the left so he's not touching the frame. Great shot.

A wonderful richness to the color. That eye is really something.

As the others have said, the merge with the left edge of the frame detracts from an otherwise very nice shot.

Well done headshot! If I were going to print this one I'd clone in some BG on the left.

A lot of the birds here in Florida are exceedingly tame. I've even petted several after taking their picture :D

Harvey,

Excellent shot. The green background is wonderful and the color in the eye and bill look great.

Excellent Harvey. A little tight on the left, but so sharp!

I love those bejeweled eyes. This is sharp as a tack and the exposure is perfect. I agree with it being a little tight on the left but thats an easy fix

Excellent detail and color. You handled the DOF well to get the bill tip to the eye good and sharp.

Juts a little more room on the left and this would be about perfect. :) I love the green background and the super sharp eye and bill.

I'm with everyone else--tight on the left, otherwise wonderful.
