Great find, head angle, details and BG. I might put the bird a bit higher in the frame.

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely BG. Agree re raising bird in frame. Maybe a touch more sharpening for web presentation.

Sweet Bg, nice light and very good eye contact. Agree with Axel and Tony about placing the bird higher in the frame.
