Looks good to me. I can count the individual hairs/feathers around that eye. Maybe I would try to darken the beak tip a little.

Good one Sandy, I like the focal point around the eye, and the DOF choice. Really puts an emphasis on that face and eye. Agree, I might try to darken the end of the beak.

Nice portrait, Sandy. Good detail and interesting subject. I agree with previous comments about the tip of the beak.

Beautiful portrait with a lot of detail visible around the eye. Overexposure of the beak has been mentioned.

Grt, Ingrid.

Cool portrait, Sady. Yeah, that eye really makes the shot.
