Very nice portrait Sandy. Details and exposure look good to me. Love the red around the eye. The nest materials in the beak takes this fine image up a notch. Well done.
This is gorgeous, Sandy. I agree that the nesting material is a very nice touch. I do think that there is a slight reddish cast to the image. I am thinking more along this line?
I really like this. IQ is excellent, and that grab-bag in the bird’s mouth really adds. That red ring on the eye is great. I agree with Adhika that there is a color cast, but his version looks a touch too blue to me. (but I haven’t calibrated in a while, so my colors might be off)
A lovely portrait, Sandy. Superb detail and exposure. That long hair is a wonderful bonus.
