I really like the red eyes and the birds colours blending with the BG. On my monitor it looks as though the bill is soft. Maybe I am getting that illusion from its placement?

It could very well be placement. I don't the bill was tack sharp either. Thanks for commenting.

I like the view of the red eyes, the placement in the frame is a bit awkward with the bird floating to the right but looking to the left. would also tweak the colors a bit it has a yellow cast

Looks like it was a windy day.
I would move the bird to the right of the frame and higher.
Also, image needs a bit of pop as colors seem quite muted. I would add a point or two of blacks to the neutrals in selective coloring.
Great bird and I like that both eyes are visible,

I would echo the above comments Krishna, and then a repost, TFS!

Hi Krishna, love that we can see both eyes, and they really pop nicely against the lighter plumage. I agree with the yellow cast.
