Nice subject and great portrait with the catchlight in the eye, Composition very nice. Perfect f-stop - keeping the subject area in sharp focus while blurring out the background.
The edge around the bird is way to sharp. It looks like the bird was cut out of another picture and pasted into this one (not saying that you did that). I would liked seeing just a bit more detail in the background. It might have lessened the ffect I just mentioned about the bird.
This is very nice. Charming composition and wonderful detail in the bird and mirror. It reminds me of the movie Pleasantville, in which the '50s grey color slowly melts away to vibrant reds throughout the film. Good stuff.
