I love the high Key here, nice pose and ddetail, textures look great, I would suggest warming it up a tad and maybe a little crop from the left to improve comp.
Congratulations.

[Leo Berzins]

I like the pose and the compostion but I wish the rear branch was not there.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose, eye contact and high key, particularly the almost monochrome feel to it and wish for a slightly lower angle. If it were mine, I might clone out the OOF branch.

[Juan Aragonés]

I like the B/W look of this image and the calm of the bird. The image has a lot of graphical power but I think that it would be even better without the OOF branch in the BG.

[Desmond Chan]

This is a strong image, IMO. I second doing something to the OOF branch and perhaps a tad warmer.
