From your comments: "I know the eyes where OOF but I had to go for the happy medium and focus between the eyes and her beak..."
I think this works so well preciseley because her eyes are in soft focus... it's like she's coming in to attack you in which case your focus would be on the beak and the eyes would fall into the background.
The image is from the perspective of the victim - if you'd focused on the eyes and let the beak blurr it would suggest more the 'self perspective' of the attacker (ie it would be concentrating on the victim through its eyes. And now I'm starting to ramble incoherently again - sorry :)
BTW did i mention this is a stunner. I hate to say it deserved a ribbon 'cos that's a bit disrespectful of the images that did... but it deserved a ribbon!

In wildlife photos, the eyes have to be in focus. |
