The body feathers look great. Those shoulders could be worked into the rest more maybe and the angle of a sitting bird is curious with no legs to explain it.

the croping is interesting....alot may say its incorect but i think that makes it unique and curious to look at...the bright orange and yellow pulls out of the cornor...seems some thought went into the design and positioning of the bird

i like the bird and the cropping but the background is so unformed that it just makes the bird look stiff. You need to connect some of the edges to the bird maybe with some suggestions of grasses or something

I agree with Marty. The background looks flat to me, lot of negative space and flat color makes it boring.

Hi Alexandra, I love the head,(great job on the beak and eye). I like the colouring and your feather work, but this position makes me feel like the bird is falling with his wings tucked in to his sides. Ann

Personally I don't like adding objects in my backgrounds, I think it takes away from the center subject which is usually the bird. I think everyone's right though, the position is a bit weird. I may add his foot in and maybe something for him to be standing on. Thank you for the great suggestions!

I read what Gail Caduff-Nash wrote, I don't think I can improve on that critique. I do like the colors.. they are lovely. The bird needs feet ;)
