What a bird!, great shot, for my taste I'd like it higher in the frame, a little off the top.

Beautiful BG and I like that this one is smaller in the frame than you normally leave them.
I would also move it up, a bit too centered for me.

I like the composition the bird is nicely cradled by the OOF trees. From a personal viewpoint I would bring down the luminosity on the legs/feet, I don't think they are blown but I think they would show slightly better detail.

A different shot to your normal side on or face on, but I still like it. Perfect sharpness, and I agree with Jon that the legs look a little pale

Cool pose and a unique BG. The bit of feathers in the claws are cool. Eye looks great. Looser crop works for me. TFS

Really digging those colors in the background. Nice pose on the bird. Neat to see just the one eye.
