I think the bigger presentation of the shot is better as you've lost the white edge on the left hand side. You seem to be picking up chroma noise in the lower black feathers. Overall very nice but (amazingly) I would like to see it a little darker (maybe my subjective taste in darker images).

compositionally I like it a lot and the detail is good. I can also see a fair amount of noise. Lovely idea though

Hi Ron - nice C/U, but at iso 320 this has to be a bit of a crop to say the least judging by the noise in the image.
