Nice wing position, eye contact, and sense of habitat. Whites are nicely controlled, although they appear slightly gray in places on my monitor. The eye doesn't seem as sharp as the near wing

The chocolatey brown and white combo here is gorgeous. The background shows trees in the abstract and I like that as well. Everything is well composed and sharp. Very nice.

Great picture! awsome bird, maybe more speed could be good for the wings beating, and the whites on the back of the neck are a little bit strong, at less on my pc.

I like the pose with the curved belly/neck line, makes this individual look very light weight-wise! I love the BG, but could do without the dark area hugging the left edge. Desaturating the cyan channel gives a nicer black to the wings. Well done overall!

What a pretty bird. I love the rust colors. Great detail on the face and a nice bg.

Nico, loved the angle, colors and wing position. A little higher SS would have made it even better....but as-is, an excellent shot.

Nice exposure sharpness and I like the wing position. I agree about decreasing sat in cyan to make the wings a bit more black. I like the curves to the bird as well.
