The bird is beautiful - sharp focus. Lighting might be a little harsh. However, the treatment for the person holding the bird - including the green hand just doesn't work or appeal to me.

Beautiful picture of the bird. It would definitley benefit from being alone in the picture in my opinion

Absolutely great detail on the bird - I can see the feathers so clearly, and wonderful colour too. I really don't like the artificial way that the focus has been taken away from the person holding and kissing the bird at all though. Also, I don't like the way that the background seems to have been painted over with yellow and orange. There are also some strange artifacts in that yellow and orange area on the left.

it would have been better to have you person holding the bird regular tone. It is kinda creepy like this.

Looks like a graphicfunk job - very good! One of the top ones I've seen so far.

Nice capture of the bird! The faded image of a person holding him is a little distracting to me. Great color work as well!

Green hand? There appears to be a filter issue here.

It's a pretty bird, and I _think_ I get what you're going for with the effects on the person, but I relly don't care for the look of it. It's disconcerting to the eye, and it almost looks like you've cut and pasted the bird into another, older picture. 8 for the bird itself, 4 for the rest of the pic, so ya get a 6 from me.

Unusual treatment. I think just the bird would of been enough here, the person is just a bit of a distraction for me. I don't totally dislike it, but I'm not comfortable viewing it either.

Interesting photographic technique. I like the accent on the bird.

this is VERY strange post-processing.

The bird is GORGEOUS, but the green skintones on the hand and face is not appealing and is a distraction. That said, the detail and color on the bird is stunning.
