This is amazing. perfect crop, light is good. maybe a touch more saturation but this could look incredible if printed as a canvas wrap!! well done, great work!

Beautiful. I like the tight crop as the tail feathers bring the eyes straight in to the birds body. As Brad said I think a little more saturation would be good. Art

Thanks for your comments. I was a bit scared of over-saturating it to be honest, especially with the colours being so bright already. I might give it a quick run through PS and see how it looks with a bit of a boost.

Thanks

Hi Annie
It's nicely done .. but I think as well a little boost in the colour would really help .. not sure if it is my monitor but it does look a bit pale. ...
Cheers
Else
