A lovely bird, Nate. You handled the exposure and processing beautifully. the blacks look just perfect.

Up to your usual high standards, Nate. Nice use of flash and natural light, great pose, and I like the bit of bokeh in the BG.

Wonderful composition with excellent detail, color, background, and very effective use of fill flash

Nate: excellent use of fill flash as it doesn’t look flashed. The pose, details and coloration are spot on. Richard

Excellent portrait. Makes me want to get a flash (which I have resisted so far). The fill flash here really highlights this bird.
