Lovely low angle and the bill is very well rendered. The serrations in the inner bill are a good capture.
Perhaps try to lift the darkest plumage in the cheek area??
Nice Dan, I looked at it early yesterday and didn't have time to comment. First impression for me was how good the black looked and feather detail was great. I did notice the darkest area as mentioned
it does cause your eye to be pulled their.Perhaps if the eye was rotated more towards you might add some intimacy overall. I am not sure about males versus females but in another month the bill may
be whiter and the patch on the head and bill will turn a bright red in breeding plumage.I love the bright red eye and droplets on the head especially.
