Nice low angle, perfect bg, sharpnes and details in the black & whites. If anything I which for a small head angle towards you.
Thanks for sharing.

I might try and reduce the sheen on the bill and wish for a catchlight but otherwise I like it as presented.

The exposure looks great, nice composition. As already mentioned a catchlight would have been wonderful.

But there is a catchlight present, perhaps it needs to be lightened for web presentation but it is definitely there. Good image Glen - lovely colours and great low angle.

Greta angle and pose. I agree about calming the sheen

lovely capture

The thumbnail was enticing, but once again no shot visible here in the thread. From the thumbnail it looked as if you had great light and a good low angle.

This is amazing! the details on bird & angle looks very good!!
