The dark face looks a lot like one of the elaborate carnival faces from Venice. You captured the action in a way that almost makes the soft whoosh of feathers audible.
As a "bird photograph" I hate the choice of this B&W treatment as you utterly lose the bird. I like it significantly more as I consider it in the abstract, but even then I find myself wishing you'd done it differently as I believe it could have been amazing. Need to come back to give this one a number.
