    Right on exposure and perfect DOF getting tail to head sharp.

    Some fill-flash would have brightened the whites and made a catch light in the eye.

    Amazing exposure, look back pose and details. Agree with Robert that fill flash would work wonderfully here. Very well done.

    Perfect detail and DOF. Some catchlight in the eye would have been nice.

    Good low perspective, good pose and HA, and overall, this is nice and sharp. I would try and lighten the eye if possible.

    Exposure, sharpness, and comp all look good. I like the orange tinge to some of the feathers. What was needed (and mentioned alot already) is a catclight or reflection in the eye. In post, if there is a bit of a paler reflection on the upper part of the eye (which seems there is), you can dodge it...this would be an alternative to no flash (although in this instance flash would have been a better option).
