What a cool looking bird! I really like the soft light and detail in the bird. I'd like to see his eye a little higher in the frame. Also, there's a dark smudge to the upper-right of his bill that I keep focusing on, which leads me to the darker right-side of the frame. I'd try to remove the smudge and the darker gradient at the right of the frame.
Overall nice image, but what really grabs my attention is the soft light sort of spotlighting the top of the head. I like the emphasis in the eye. Maybe take a tiny crop from left, otherwise, nice. Slight softness in the bill OK with me in this case.
Very lovely portrait with excellent detail and the soft lighting really makes this image for me. I agree with Blakes suggestion on the darker area to the left but overall a very beautiful image Manos. thanks for sharing.
Super nice. I'd take a different approach to the dark right hand side and burn in the edges all around to match. Perhaps a little lightening of the right edge just to keep things subtle.
Nicely composed Manos. I must admit I didn't notice the darker spot until it was pointed out. Agree a little higher in the frame or maybe a slightly lower angle. I would be happy with a result like this.
