Wow, a face only a mother could love but still beautiful in its own right. Nice light, detail and color Dimitri. Fine shots once again.

Dimitri, you just keep doing it.......studio portrait quality images of birds !

Some day you should jot down a little tutorial on how to do that.....I do not mean revealing your inner trade secrets, just a kind of general approach you use and some techniques/tools. That would help some of us elevate our skills.

Thank you for your very warm support Peter to start with.
No secret i`m afraid,patience,allow plenty of time on each subject (spend time with it {as much possible anyway}) and try different things and settings.

The problem is to remember the settings for the next time , , i don`t
