Super engaging look from him! Can't get a better head-on view! The frame does feel a bit cool to me, and I'd like to see the bird moved up in the frame since the top part feels really empty. Bird could
also be moved to the right a bit.
Very nice pose and the clean BG is awesome. I agree that the bird needs to be moved up slightly. Sharpening the head would also help. I see a halo near the bird's right leg - should be an easy fix in PP. Nice work on controlling the reds. I'd probably add some warmth to the image too. Well done, Kevin!
