Gorgeous shot, it must have been amazing to see in person! I'm sure you had to clip the wings but did you catch its feet? Would be great to have more on the bottom. Also unfortunate the right half is in shadow. None the less, fantastic capture!
Great looking bird and nice pose. I like the way you did the crop.
I think you can brighten up the left part of the bird's face bit more.
I like the image.
Superb eye contact, Nicolas. I would be tempted to crop this even tighter - I find the incomplete tail and legs hanging down a distraction and think a tight crop to utilise the diagonal of the wings with the focal point of the eyes would be stronger.
A loverly bird and sharp but as noted above the COMP/crop is awkward at best.
