    Very cool pose, eye contact. I would sharpen the bird some more.

    Sweet wing position, head position, and bird. The sharpening issue has been covered. I think you went a little too far blurring the bg. It looks a bit unnatural to me.

    The repost looks better Jay! From a learning standpoint, it would be beneficial to forum members if you would post your edited version as a separate post in the thread. That way people can see the before and after version. Thanks!
