This is another image made at Bonaventure island. I think this makes a good head and shoulders portrait.
What do you think? All comments are appreciated.

I do think it does too :) Love the light and pose, the exp looks perfect, the BG goes great with the bird although I think it could be straighten clockwise. Congratulations still for a terrific portrait!

Looks great to me. Love the soft horizon in the background

Nice pose, details and eye contact. I agree on straightening the horizon. Thanks for sharing!

Love this picture. I also like the BG with only two colors showing with so little information the ambient of the bird
congratulations

I don't know...don't see much of a dandruff problem on this guy!! Sorry, I had to:o

I like how the background colour matches the eye ring, very nice. Agreed for rotation though.

I like the pose. The eye and the socket are very nicely captured. I do think the whites on the head and front of the breast do look washed out or too bright. Perhaps its a trade off for the bright sun?
