Seems technically ok and an interesting shot, but the faces are the subject of the shot, and are pretty funny. Outside the two faces, I see no emotion in this shot. Sorry - 4.
oh man there is faces all over but I am sure(you know and have been told this over and over again) :). As an image seperate from the challenge I like it, I see similarities in the positions of the Raptor and protector and that pleases me. I really like all the details in the feathers. If I had one critique is that the white seem to have a very slight tint of cyan, but that could be me and I am nitpicking. I really wonder what could be going on off screen that would make the handler look so surprised while holding an eagle.

haha great detail in the bird but i definitely would have cropped out the giant face of the woman because her expression dominates the photo, so it doesn't really meet the challenge in my opinion
