Solid portrait here. Like the open bill and the pose. Details look good as well.

This is outstanding. No negatives from me. Exposure, color, eye contact, detail, comp are all money.

Superb! Lovely details through the frame, whites perfectly exposed, HA on point and the open bill takes it to the very top! 10/10

Very nicely composed. Details and the bird and the background looks nice.
