I wasn't sure if this really qualified as high key or whether it just was overexposed. I think there needed to be more contrast in the beak and the feet. But I absolutely loved how the details in the wing feathers remained.

I actually think this one might have been more high key, but Jesse said I should enter the one I did go with



Thanks for the comments!

I could well imagine this bird in its colorful (pinkish?)hues. A very nice image but to me lacking contrast for the sake of the high key.
