I love bird faces. This is a great one. That eye is beautiful. You have done a wonderful job with the color in this shot, and the highlights are perfect. You got a good score too. Congratulations!
And ole orange frame, too. I really thing that taking a key colour into the frame makes for a very weird composition - weakening the colour in the actual image, making for a bizarre extra element that the shot surely doesn't need. Good detail and processing and light in the actual image though, but there isn't any real fascination to it - just a technically assured shot, without doing anything more.
