Judges Comments

I love the head and eyes and head and neck feathers of this bird.
However, because the background is very dark, which really shows off the bird,
it appears there was not much light on the lower part of the bird. By trying to bring up the shadows on the lower part of the bird,
you have ended up with colour fringing in the white feathers. Suggest you do not try and bring up the lower feathers.
By having it darker at the bottom would also draw attention to the wonderful eye and face. But well done.
