Hi Dennis,
This is definitely up close and personal! For my tastes, the bird is too big in the frame and I find the reddish OOF grass under the right eye distracting.I would work on that and clone out the white branches on the left hand side of the frame.
This picture is all about those beautiful eyes so why not really make them shine-since the bottom of the frame has all that distracting grass, what about going for a tight pano of the eyes and beak only. I would also crop in from the left.
Good F stop,
Gail

I'm liking the crop, and the eyes are very mesmerizing! I would definitely eliminate the horizontal bright grass at left (a combination of patch and clone tools should work handily). As posted I would also apply an additional judiscious round of sharpening to get the fine detail on the face sharper (it is well focused, it's just to have that extra pop).

Thanks Gail and Daniel. I will definitely work on those aspects. I could back off on the crop, but that introduces more OOF grass to deal with. Thanks and will repost in a few minutes.
