Nancy, loved the pose and comp. excellent eye contact as well. A little brighter( high key) will work better IMO. There's a wide halo around the bird...a result of high default sharpening perhaps.
Thanks Kaustubh! I will try a high key, but I do not see the halo at all on my monitor.
Nancy, its not the typical halo. What I see is that the sky near the bird's left wing(near the primaries) and below the left part of the tail is brighter than the sky further away from the wing. sort of a glow.

Love it Nancy, the stare always crack me up.
Great pose with intense eye contact. Another vote for a bit brighter. I think what KD means could be cloud related?
I think it would look great in high key.

Excellent shot Nancy I'd go a tad brighter too
