Good job on the high contrast, blacks look good, the bill looks good but I am sure you could get a little more detail there.

Really like the pose on this one. Nice framing. The red eye is nice.

Very well done. Those beaks are difficult on this subject, but I think you handled it nicely.

Hi Joseph ,

Nicely done
