Great contrast, especially in the neck area. Nice crisp clear image too. If the top of the head were exposed just a little more, I would like this more.
Very nice. Great DOF. I feel as if he could reach out of the picture and peck at me. I like the colors in the background. It complements the subject well. I love the expression on his face...like an old man gnawing on a toothpick after dinner. Good luck in the challenge. You should do real well.
You know there are a lot of bird "head shots" in this challenge and they all seem to be facing to the left. Whats with that? Totally has nothing to do with how I'm judging your photo, I just thought it was funny and wanted to remark upon it as I thought you would appreciate the humour of it, given your picture. I'm rambling, as a side note I like this photo, the beak is perfect *wink*
