Loved the comp. so well seen. These are hard. wonderfully sharp bill and foot. If mine, I'd sharpen the eye and face a bit. Higher ISO and smaller aperture would have been better. I think you must have needed the SS to freeze this.
Love these super tight images. Wonderful SH and fine detail. I too would like a smidge more room above. And I would not mind seeing the BLACKs and the NEUTRALs a bit darker. Love those toes.

Why not? The shot works. The details are there. I'm loving the topography of your foot and bill. I'd perhaps like the bill darkened up a bit; it's not inviting my eye quite as much as the foot. Think about a little more room up top.
Someday I want to see one of these guys. I like the creative composition which created a frame within a frame. If I have to pick one thing, its probably just me but I would sharpen the eyes a little bit, everything else seem super sharp though.
