This is a great shot here showing true beauty even in an ugly way IMO. I love the look that you captured, and also the textures as well.....

From the Critique Club

Striking pose, fills the frame nicely. Maybe a bit to cropped off on top, just by a hair. Great detail in the hair,face and beak.

I think what may have hurt the image was opinions it was an ugly and beat up looking bird. I still find it very pleasing and not in that sort of mood.

I think the fence frames the bird nicely but a little more clarity might have given more emphasis with that.

okay - this is a really ugly bird. I'm surprised he can eat with that underbite action. Ostrich baby? Composition works for me. POV great, DOF could be a little larger but it doesn't really hurt the image. Great capture! 7 - good luck in the challenge!

Only a mother could love. Nice image. I am just learning PS. How did you get the fence all blurry? Maybe I am wrong it appears the head is thru the fence. If not than I understand.

the cage wire does make a frame for the birds head and I feel does not distract 8

Yes, those Eye lashes really "make" the look... (wish the wire wasn't there)

Really good focus and detail. Looks like his beak is a bit malformed, but your title is good nonetheless.
