Well done Juan. The details in the fine feathers look great, as does the exposure on both the whites and the greys. The background compliments and the dof works for me. The bright clear eye adds to the portrait.

Nice detail here. Good background and detail on the whites and the blacks.

Juan - as the others have said, beautiful details and a beautiful background. I agree with Mr. Whaley that the bright clear eye adds to the portrait.
