Not really hard to find. On the plus side, I didn't have to squint at this one.

The sun is very harsh in a really lovely picture. If cropped at the top would have been better and still matched challenge.

Good detail on the feathers; focus is a little soft on the faces. (voted earlier)

Comment by HarveyG:
Hardly any visible aperture flare (I see one circle) let alone star burst flare. Perhaps a few on the beak ridge. I also saw this challenge as not only having to be dozens of flares but a creative minimalist way of using lens flare to achieve a unique and appealing image as this. The sun itself has been flared by the optics. Good optics reduce and minimise flare. Kit lenses need good control to try and minimise them. I'll be keen to see what lens this is and in who's capable hands.

Looks a lot like Sam the American Eagle.

I need a bit more detail... especially in the eyes... Perhaps a catchlight would raise your score a bit. The green necklace is drawing attention away from her face. A bit of darkening would have helped that, I think. But... that's just my opinion. Others may love this. I do love the composition. That's perfect.

I like how they are zig zagged, filling the frame. :)
