Wow what a great close up. I love the details of his feathers. The eyes are so piercing!

Great color and DOF! Wonder what a tight crop of this with just the eyes and beak would look like? Did you consider a minor adjustment in post-processing to remove the double catchlights in the eyes?

Very nice shot. Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Fine lighting and detail -- well-done.

Nice sharp shot, and I like the composition, but would really like to be able to see even the tiniest bit of the iris of the other eye - just being able to see that bit of orange feels a bit odd. The color in the eyes looks a bit oversaturated, but I'm not taking anything away from the shot for that because, of course, it's entirely possible that it is actually the exact color!

Very well done. My guess is some will mark you down because this isn't a person. I hope not.

If the flash wasn't quite so harsh, I would have scored this higher. Very cool closeup though. I like the orange of the eyes.

I would have liked to see both eyes rather than just a part of the other eye. Nice clarity and color.

Very good photo, but didn't feel it was in the spirit of the challenge. Felt like it would be unfare to others to give the score it probably deserved IMO.
