Nice detail in the eye and bill, with a smooth BG. the whites look a little hot. this may work well as a verticle

[Fabs Forns]

Yes, I can see it thanks!
You did get the ruby eye and with a beautiful blue BG to boot!
Some would like a slight turn of the head towards you. Depending on the light, that may affect the light shining in the eye.
Thanks for sharing it!

I like it and HA is not that big a problem from me at all. Congrats! :)

Great detail and BG and gotta love that eye!

A head turn toward the viewer would make it more intimate but I think it
also works as is ... just gives it a different feeling/mood ... more contemplative
and distant rather than intimate.

Hi Bryan:

I think you did well with this capture and balancing the exposure. I have no problem with the head angle. I would remove the second catchlight in the eye. Your BG is gorgeous.
