I agree with Adams. I love this one alot!! Looks like a desert sand storm passing through :-) I know you prefer lower contrast but I would be tempted to add just a bit here.
Lovit love it love it... I am sorry, but that light, that comp, the detail, exposure control and specially the mood on this shot all together are just superb! Congratulatinos amiga!
Love the low angle "in heaven" look. A real killer for sure. Wish only that the eye were opened a bit wider.

IOTW!!! Very well done! If I were down in Florida these are exactly the type of images I would be working on, just wonderful! I'm a clone guy, so with that being said I might clean up the beak... nothing major.
Fabs I cammented on this image in FN but I can resist to write another post here because I relly love this one. Fantastic in this sweet scene and terrific low angle. I will not change a single pixel in this file my friend.
By the way, you did very well devoting this image to África, the young photgrapher girl in FN, I think that is a very encouraging detail her. Way to go!
