Very cool, is this a wild bird and how much of a crop is this? I really like the stare and the tight crop works well here. The whites are a bit overexposed, it should not be a problem to recover them.

Wow! I love the his concentrated stare. You have great eye contact here Pierre. The concentric rings around his face place even more emphasis on the eyes. The symmetry really adds to your composition. I agree with Axel on the whites. You might want to lighten the dark side a little but don't overdo it. Overall: Congratulations, you have a powerful image here!
