That's cool to know this piece of information regarding this wonderful image. I was on vacation when the results of this challenge came in and never really went thru the results in depth upon return.
This is a gorgeous photo! Well composed, great detail and color. The only nitpik I have is the reflection on the eye. It is what it is, but perhaps it could be played with a bit to remove the trees, or maybe some other approach entirely with cloning, etc...? One other thing, have you tried boosting the contrast just a tiny bit? My work monitor is not the best to judge photos with, so please bear with me if I'm way off base.
Surprised you don't have this up as a print. Again, well done!
Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

| That kind of bluepurple is my favorite color. Good composition, there is a good flow and direction in the image. I don't like the eye however. The reflection breaks it in two and it would have more imapact with some light in it. |

| Something about the light in the eye, maybe a little less, but otherwise I think this is a great picture, I like the details of the feathers. |

| I really love the colors and texture in this shot. If the reflection wasn't in the top of the eye it would be perfect. |

| Nicely done. How in God's name did you get so close? Unless this is a crop from a huge telephoto. Either way, really cool crop, color and idea. |

| Minimalism, leading lines, birds, macros. This can virtually work for any challenge! Great stuff. |

| Great detailing on the feathers. The eye needs a tad more "sparkle." |
