Hi Alexander,
I love the action that you captured. Really nice moment and very good exposure.
I would just wish for a bit more sharpnes on the eye. It looks as if the focus was on the shoulder of the bird, not right on the eye.
May be you can sharpen the eye a bit more?

Agree with Rosl on the point of focus, still the image is sharp and like the mood If anything would like a little more room all around the bird. Great low angle and pleasing bg !! I like it a lot !!!

A couple of suggestions for you here...all around the face area: I'd clone out the lower catchlight, tone down the bill, and eliminate the brighter brown patch sticking out of forehead. Excellent loe angle, and I love the dark green coloration of the mossy surroundings! :-)

Love the habitat and its colors, very serene mood. I'd also remove the light OOF grass shooting out of the head, and selectively sharpen the eye a bit more.

A winner!
