Wonderful lines and textures, feathers this way and that, Is that really his eye? Why does he have tiny feathers on his eye? Oh wait I bet that's his ear. Does it matter? I will suspend disbelief, assume it is an eye because I like the way he's hiding behind his wing and peeking right at me. The spot of light on the yellow is very nice,
I can't wait to see how this scores as it is a completely different perspective of the majestic bird. I personally think it is very good. I love the tight crop and the detail. There are some hot spots which is to be expected with direct sunlight. Still a job well done IMO. Good Luck. 7.
