I like both the image and the composition that your crop provides. I like the background as well, although some may find it distracting, I find it interesting without being a distraction at all. Well done.
Hi Bob, I like the image and find that the background does take something from the eye. As a more OOTB image it is very strong, but I feel that a less detailed bg would make it stronger as a bird portrait. There is a bit of detail lost in the peak whites but not much. I like the eye looking intently at dinner.
