Hi Joe. Great detail and exquisite look at the eye. I'd be tempted to crop out the oof portion on the far right, at the expense of the 3:2 ratio.

I like it.

Details look amazing. I like the repost but would go even more. The star of this shot are the eye and beak and all of that wonderful detail. Back part is a bit over exposed anyway so I would crop it out and have more of the eye and beak against such a dark background that is so nice.
