Love the look-back pose and the attitude. I also like the vegetation and the perch quite a bit. Detail is nice. My only two nits are that I can see the cloning marks above the bird, and there’s a yellowish-greenish cast to the image. I don’t know anything about this bird, so I couldn’t comment on where the colors should ultimately end up. But there does seem to be a cast.


Repost with 80% less green sat and 10% less yellow.

Excellent detail and pose. I do see a minor cloning artifact, but only because Lyle pointed it out. I’m not sure about a color cast. Under the rain forest canopy, there should be a bit of a green color cast.

David: I like the bird’s pose and coloration. My only minor suggestion would be to tone down the bright leaves under the bird. Fine otherwise. Richard

Nice. Colors def. look better in the re-post to my eye.
