I like the facial expression and composition. You could try to lighten the eye and there are some dust spots in the BG. There are also some jpg artifacts in the BG, maybe due to heavy compression or resaving.
I like the inquisitive look. I remember these birds, they are quite aggressive and get really close to the cars.
Agree on the comments about the eye. A bigger catch light would have helped.
Well done. Another vote for lightening the eye. Cheers to another NANPA Charter Member. Were you at the formative meeting in Jamestown, NY?
