This is great! Reminds me of a monk or a witch or red riding hood - I can't decide. HA! Great editing to enhance the mood.

Beautiful... Love the colors and use of glow/blur. Such a peaceful expression too - it matches the tones & editing wonderfully.

This is GREAT! Love the "in your face" crop and expression. The dark tones really lend themselves to an unholy interpretation too. Well done!

(And no, I don't think this makes you less attractive, I think it makes you more intriguing...)

This is AWESOME!!! Love the colors and expression. This has "just enough" darkness and frantic emotion to create an edge of intrigue. Beautiful work.

Beautiful lines and shapes of composition. I must say that I actually do prefer the B/W version (unusual for me). Still, any way you slice it, this is a great image!

Great shot of a magnificent bird in his/her native environment. I've often found that these shots can present difficulties by becoming too "busy". You might try a selective (or partial) desat to reduce some of the background "noise". Dunno if it would work here, but you've got a great detailed shot of the bird with good natural light & color.
