Elegant pose on the perfect perch! Wonderful sharpness and detail, and the BG is studio-quality lighting! My only nit is that the lighting on the bird is a bit flat. A trick I often use is to brush on a quick mask with a very soft-edged brush over the center of the face and breast and use the selection to make a Curves adjustment layer and make that area subtly lighter and more contrasty.
Thanks Diane, Appreciate your suggestion because I had trouble bringing out the subject with better light without lighting the background more. Used LR and Photoshop to its limits with my knowledge.
