Cropped to about 58% of original, and to place eye on upper right thirds intersection

Comments & suggestions welcome; I'm an eager learner! ;)

[Alfred Forns]

I like these type images Anita !!! Appealing and beautiful You made a very sharp image with the point of focus were it needs to be The exposure was perfect and love that prominent eye

Can make a couple of suggestions Would remove some of the bottom for proportion and eliminate the distracting white oof areas in the bg Got a winner !!!!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Can't say anything else after Alfred's comments. He's the very best at this and his critiques will lead you to a much better bird photographer. It is truly a beautiful shot.
Congratulations,

[Anita Rakestraw]

Thank you very much, Alfred and Oscar! Will make the suggested changes.

[Nonda Surratt]

Lovely! Alfred's suggestions really sound good.

[Anita Rakestraw]
