The matching colors of the earth and BG work well. Like the low angle too. I would have liked the bird giving us a better profile or else looking directly at us. I also find the overall compositon a little tight up top.
Nice view of this fella on the dry ground. Great BG and low angle. A wee bit tight in the frame. As is the pose would have been perfect with a more direct lighting angle to light the shaded parts of the face...I wish you had moved to your right a bit (if possible, of course). Good techs, and the processing very clean.
In your face sweet with nice light and BKGR. From exactly where you were raising the camera one inch would have yielded a stronger image. Same wishes as Doug for the head pose.
