nice feather details. the tonal range could be a little better - I'd like to see darker tones in the beak, for example.

A great replica with lovely colors. Bumping up.

good bird shot. yellow feathers left a tad distracting.

Getting in close has made this special.

Nice,but not pin sharp. The feathers are not that sharp, particularly on the wing on the left and on the top of the head. Perhaps some USM?.

A very good shot but I think this could have been better with proper editting. Right now I'm bored so I'm playing around with your picture in photoshop...

a slight more contrast, a blue for you.

A tad overexposed around the top/back of the head, but nice detail where its not blown out
