I like how the plumage cascades. The bird (?) in the background is a little distracting. Perhaps a bit underexposed too?

That old "Coot", it's always trying to steal the show. Yes, you're right, I guess the bokeh could have been stronger but blur is intentional. Thanks for your feedback.

Welcome, and WOW, that's a lot bigger than my feeder birds You've got real nice detail in the feathers, but I'm seeing a greenish cast Looking forward to more! Sharon

Liz: Welcome to NPN. Looks like this is your first post. You certainly have a nice tight shot of this sand hill. Details look fine. Overall the exposure feels dark, and there is certainly a color cast (green) to the image. Are you working on a color calibrated system?
Keep those images coming.

Welcome to NPN Liz, I like the sidelighting in this portrait. The green color cast jumped out at me so I would work on the color balance on this one. Certainly a cool bird to have at your feeder! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your images.
