beautiful portrait with great details in the feathers. his/her beak is a little soft, maybe a slightly less shallow dof would have helped a bit there. of course, with a bird i guess you need to keep the shutter speed as fast as possible, but this looks well lit. i'm rambling. nice job!
A solid entry into the challenge, it meets the criteria in a different and unique way. From a technical standpoint, the image is a more than adequate
with a few minor issues that are not worth mentioning. The artistic impact is rather bland and uninteresting, but the offset viewpoint is a plus. A little more time taken with composition would have given the author a better score.
