Excellent capture... It is tack sharp. Sigma will be very happy to see such sharpness from it lenses. The aperture used is just perfect to cover the body. Would ask for a bit more space overall if i had to find a nit. In the lower right corner there is a hint of the cloning job leftovers ;)

Perfect portrait. Sharp. Lovely perch, BG and eye contact. Some more space all around would strengthen the photograph further.

Keep posting..

I like the eye contact. Composition is nice. The f8 aperture has covered from beak to nearly the tail tip. I would reduce the sharpening a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
