Comment by GeneralE:
That's both a pretty bird and the name of my music publishing "company," named after the tract in Berkeley where I used to live before the place I'm in now.

Also resembles the logo of a pro photo lab near where I work, Cantoo.

Very nice job!

Comment by Marjo:
The bird portion of this photo is excellent. I gave it a four, though, because of the background. To me, and as usual I'm in the minority, it's obvious that you selected the bird and adjusted the background. The black edges are too sharp around the bird. If you put this up for a print, I'd suggest softening or blending the edges with the smudge tool or an equivalent technique.
I don't mean anything disrespectful to you. It's a great photo. I'm just explaining my lower vote.

I love the way the blacks blend together and you just have the beak and the white on the bird's neck. Excellent lighting, and a great animal shot. Where's the Fruit Loops? :) 9

Fabulous colours in a great shot - but it would have been perfected by a little more light to outline the shape of the bird's head
