Cockatoos are my favorite. Cool DOF and POV.

Not one of your best. I like the clarity and the "expression", but the composition isn't all that appealing. There's a lot of blank uninteresting wall. Most troublesome is the dark "halo" behind the bird and the oversharpening.

This seems be a tad grainy and color washed. . .

6 - Yes I do. Just not crazy on the composition, empty space, slight grain/noise and background color. Title typo is a little detracting as well, but minor - unless it is intentional (if so, apologies).

The halos on the birds back are distracting to me. Did you intend to over sharpen?

Lovely shot! I do wish the beak was more in focus, but I totally love the way the texture of the feathers is so nice and sharp on the neck!

Pretty bird. You did a good job of keeping his (her?) face in focus which is really important to me. I think this photo would have worked better for me with softer lighting and a different background.

Wow, I think I just cut my eyes by looking at this. Easy does it on the sharpening. Nice looking bird.

There seem to be some issues in post processing on this image - there is a dark border around the bird that detracts and the blown out section to the left of the eye could be toned back some

the image is way overprocessed - the halo is distracting

Cute pose; wish the whole bird was in focus and the background wasn't so noisy.

Too much sharpening or high pass? The glow around him is too much.
