    You can't link straight from your pc.  You have to host the pic somewhere.

    Very good first. I will pick a bit just so you can look for things. With that pose, you could add tons of "action" to it by turning the tail a bit toward the camera as well as turning the head in the same way. Your breast feathers need a bit of adjusting as you have a white spot in the middle of the brown. Your crest is displayed well, but next time, spit on your fingers and "glue" the edge feathers together. By the time it evaporates, the head skin will have dried enough so that you don't have a "frazzled" edge to it.
