Composition works for me and I like the soft light. Neat eye contact and really sharp :)

Lovely shot Amir! Gorgeous bird, sharp with awesome pose. Would try to get rid of the yellow cast by using a bit of a cooling filter.

Beautifully captured with excellent detail and I love the coloring of this image. A slight more head turn would be nice but really love this as presented too. Many thanks for sharing.
