Detail/sharpness looks pretty good. Lighting is tough since he looks to be shaded. A bit more head turn towards us would also help make for a more engaging image.

Yes, The eye contact is greatly improved! The bird need not necessarily be looking right at you, but there needs

capture the photo won't connect with the the viewer later. There are certainly artistic exceptions to this, but they
are usually by careful design. My two cents, cheers!

Yes, number 2 is much better. I like the background a lot better and the light seems better.
Bird looks great in pane 2,

I can see why you like these first frame. Both have great backgrounds with good pose. This bird has an awesome name by the way.

Hi John,
They are one of the easier birds to photograph...they always pose nicely. Cheers.

I like them both (but for the awkward image design in the second one). The BLACKs are way blocked up in the first one. NIK 50-50 and then pulling the curve up a bit would surely help.

YAW Paul. My choice of words was not the best. Had the bird been looking more to our right, the image design would have been fine. But with the head position that you got I am thinking that a square or boxy crop would have been better. Cropping away that ugly-*** branch in the llc during that process would be a huge plus ...
