this is fantastic Trisb. the compo is really great... and with that glare which seem to go right trough you... the expression you captured is quite amazing in its intensity.
the intense blue of the eye... which is also in the background as a reminder, a link. And this strong contrast with the white and orange... everything really blend well together
Wow, clear as a bell Robert, and yes indeed, what an intimidating look in those piercing blue eyes...but thanks for your bravery in capturing this one...excellent work.:Pat.
I believe that is the best animal headshot I have ever seen. That eye, It drills a hole right thru your middle.And the neck feathers...what fantastic detail. And the beak...more fantastic detail. This is just grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat Tris. What a capture. All 10's.

An amazing image. The detail is nothing short of amazing and don't even get me started on the coloring. The bright white and orange against the deep, rich blue is fantastic. I love it. Another 10/10 from me.
Pin sharp closeup. I wonder did you use a tripod? The details are amazing. And you couldn't have chosen a better background. It makes me fully focused on the bird. Did you bribe it to stay still?
