Milan:

I like the feathered feet on this one. Good pose.

I think the image could go about 1/3 stop brighter, to bring up the whites. You might have to do a bit of recovery, but I think the overall whites will look better.

Background is pretty strong. Could consider either vignetting the corners a bit, or a modest crop to reduce the impact of the large rocks, esp. the left upper corner.

Cheers

I feel the image is exposed properly, but I would try to bring out the whites from the shaded underside of the subject. Great view of those feet that are well adapted for wlaking on snow.

Could go a bit brighter for me. I like the raised foot and the overall COMP. The darker area right behind the head bugs me :)

A crop to isolate the bird more here would be a good call. I think those feet are cool.
