Gorgeous, but needs a bit more contrast, I think. I'd use the dodge and burn tools to selectively highlight etc. Can't recall if it was permitted for this challenge.

Its too centered, and theres not enough contrast. It needs more light on it as well to highlight the white of the head against the grey background.

raptor = angel ??????? very strange juxtaposision of terms there!
I like the photo alot, but then again I'm a sucker for birds - both kinds :)
Good focus on the eye and beak, nice fuzziness on back of head. BG very neutral, maybe too neutral?

Until I saw this shot I was convinced that humans were the only thing that looked good in B&W. Great detail and definition throughout the photo. This is a very crisp and poerfull image. Proving me to completely wrong in my earlier assumptions. One of my top picks. Great Job!

I really like the fact that you get the feeling of the feathers. Great texture and lighting. -8-

Great capture but might benefit from more contrast.

A little too dark, even on my Mac LCD. I think it's a great shot, but I'm not sure it has the punch that will help it stand out. Still, great work.
