hungry

all critiques welcome

Nice backlight on the left wing, and the bird looks sharp with lots of nice detail in the feathers. The softness of the flower and the very bright area in upper left detract from the over all impression. I think you can fill the bright area with the surrounding color. Maybe burning the flower would make its softness less distracting or perhaps you could just clone it out.

 

i hope you find these comments helpful.

Beautiful!! but I agree with Kent, the flower is distracting as there is no detail and, ouch, the glare. Clone it out then you might try a tiny bit of dodging on just the throat.
