    This is perfect. Love that gold BG with the painterly brushstrokes, the light, the perfect head turn. Also, the eyebrows are well seen.
    9.8/10 for me. You would have gotten 10/10 if I could have seen the feet! I am a hard taskmaster...
    Hope you are safe and sheltering at home!

    Excellent view. Perfect head angle ad you handled those eye combs beautifully. The blend of brown tones is really beauitiful.

    Lovely shot Mike, seems like an age now since I was on't moors! Composition and colours super, I would suggest lowering luminosity in the reds, his comb shows more detail and maybe a slight Burn on the lores - again to render a little more detail - WDYT??

    Quite nice. Like that proud pose. The earth tones are great here.

    This fella is aware of your presence! Nice perky pose here. I love all the warm tones, and the BG is beautiful. You may opt to remove the detach bits of grasses to the left of the perch to make for a cleaner edge at the bottom, but all-in-all an appealing frame.
