Beautiful bird and soft light.
I would have liked to see it a bit higher in the frame and a bit more to the left.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Beautiful bird, great pose and great details too. I agree with the suggestion on composition. The light seemed a little harsh for you.

Great detail and I again, agree with the comp suggestions. The light area at the front of the head looks a little bit hot as well, I think the detail is probably there but it's lost it at this resolution.

Kind regards,

Brett
