Dumay:

Wonderful subject isolation from low shooting angle and distant background, really pops. Excellent angle in frame, exposure, sharpness.

Helped that the sun angle was low enough to prevent shadowing of the upper portion of the eye.

Comp. excellent as well.

Nicely done.

Cheers

Awesome image Dumay, great POV and DOF, nicely composed and lovely detail.

A super shot, I like the low POV and the visible feet. the colours and details are excellent, those eyelashes are something else too! I wouldn't change a thing, if I was being particularly picky I would suggest possibly removing the yellow stone by the right foot and just maybe a sliver off the base to reduce the OOF foreground.

Cracker shot Dumay, love the low angel, detail and BG. Nice one!

Really nice, the low angle isolates the bird well and great IQ. I would agree with Jonatan's comment about the stone by the foot. Great image.
