Around the edges of this beautiful bird looks to flat like an extraction was done. Causing a distraction to me. Great detail within the bird from head down. BTW I can see the photographer in his eye :). Great shot but I'm just a bit distracted the way the subject blends with the background. 8

Nice portrait but the completely black background is not appealing to me.

Great headshout though I'm not sure why you had deleted the background. It sort of takes away from it. Good luck!

And a beautiful one it is!!! (portrait). Seriously, with the black background, this bird looks gorgeous. So noble and regal. Great job.

looks exactly like another entry, the only difference is that this has some bunt areas on the white feathers and beek.

The focus seems to be on his wing instead of his head. Nice tight shot.

Way too bright and the background seems to have been cut out or completely burnt out. The edge of the bird along the background just doesn't feel right.
