Great shot, it's nice that you could get so close, whites are exposed properly and eye is sharp. I'd add some space to the top right near the tail. well done.

Great pose. Exposure and sharpness look good.
Love the slightly open bill and the eye contact.

Excellent head angle and sharpness, catch light a bonus. As mentioned, very tight at right. Nice bird too!

[Ilija Dukovski]

Tight at right, but great pose for a great composition.
