Always check for dust first.

Stunning... I'd have worked in PS on the eye a little to make the catchlight/reflections a little more appealing. Shame the top feather has been cropped off in your composition. Great dof. Wonderful expression captured. Surely portrait orientation would have worked better than landscape? Some dodging and burning requred to really make justice to this photo.

Very nice. The centred composition makes the gaze very intense. Maybe not so tightly cropped on top (I'd like the see all the top feathers in the frame)
