Wow - what incredible eyes - quite reptilian. Only suggestion would be ?shadow/highlight to bring out some more detail in the blacks and maybe refine sharpening to reduce halo. Cool shot:)
Great to see such detail. The bill pattern is fascinating. Difficult to get the balance with that black but I think you have done well and all the details that are relevant are showing while the black is really black and shiny.
