Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Hizzle,
This is indeed a striking image. You have done an excellent job of making that eye piercing - a very effective use of selective desaturation (and a bit of selective saturation too). It combines to give a high-impact impression. I love the funky 'hairstyle' of the featehers, and think you have done a good job on the texture and sharpening here - it would have been easy to over do it, but you haven't. I don't think that the overall image gets much from the negative space to the left and right of the bird; a better crop in my opinion would have been closer horizontally, and with a bit more vertical to include the top of those interesting feathers.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
Paul |

| Really nice detail and I like the spot colors. I'd like to see it cropped as a portrait. |
