A solid image.
I like your low POV and the raised foot and foot lifted up.
Clean BG and I like the rocks underfoot. The light is very nice coming from the right and illuminating the face.

nice low shooting angle and the raised foot and look back are great. I am finding the oof rock on the left a bit distracting but it doesn't ruin the shot for me.
Hi Chris, good HA, and well timed to get the raised foot. Lovely feather detail, and I like the yellow eye ring. Your low perspective has turned out well.
Just gorgeous light! I think it could have a little taken off the left, and may be a little on top, to give the bird a more dramatic presence in the frame.
Comp, BG, head angle, raised fooot all look excellent. I agree about the OOF rock at lower left...all others are fine, with a few being super. I find the eye a tad soft, but no one else mentioned it...
