Toya,
The focus on this appears to be the feathers and soft on the eyes and face. The eyes have it in avian and animal captures. Sweet looking bird and new to me. Another nit for me is the cut off of reflection half way thru the bird. Keep on shooting

Another very interesting NZ bird! I agree about the focus, and it also seems to need a bit of CW (Clock-wise) rotation to level the ripples.
Since the bird ewas probably not moving too much, you didn't need a lot of SS and could likely have used an F8 focused on the eyes to get the whole bird tack-sharp.
Wonderful birds you're showing us!

Another interesting bird photo from NZ. I agree with the cc rotation, and a bit more detail in the white. The cut off reflection does not bother me much, as I would not like to see the bird smaller in this photo. I do think it looks best in the larger post. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing more from you.
