Hi Steven - not going to do a ful critique - lets see what others have to say.
More room at the bottom for the virtual feet - did note your comments - maybe a different crop so that the feet are not a issue??

Would probably do a tighter crop. and HA and eye contact. Bird looks sharp.
Congrats

I would crop to head and neck nice sharp picture

This look sharp with lots of feather details. Just wish the bird is turning more toward you, also might try a lower capture angle next time.
