    Lovely bird, good exposure, not at all sharp. It looks as if sharpening (the face especially) would help. Again, please include the shutter speed and other specs so that we can be in better position to help you.

    I like the eye contact and light in this one. I agree on softness and would remove one of the catchlights.
