Very cute, but somewhat awkward looking pose. It’s hard for a bird to look ungraceful, but this one manages it. Funny. I think the exposure looks fine - the yellow doesn’t look to hot. It’s a tiny bit noisy, but I think that’s ok considering it’s an onlien image. The bg is nicely blurred and sets off this silly creature nicely.
Interesting pose, Dave. I’m not sure what software you’re using, but the brightest part of the breast could come down just a bit. If you use LR, the local adjustment brush dabbed over that area with a slight reduction of highlights should do it.
Some of the yellows are fairly hot, but can be tamed down easily. The head is slightly soft especially in front of the eye and top of the head. A little extra sharpening should help. BG is very nice and it is an interesting pose…….Jim
