This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: the position of the eyes in frame works wonderfully to pull the viewer in.
color: a little on the desaturated side, but i feel it adds to the sadness of the photo
contrast: more contrast should have been added to make the photo pop more, and introduce more feeling into the photo
focus: on the soft side, through glass? manual focus could have helped that out
depth of field: good, but more in focus would have helped analyze this part of the image
lighting: soft, natural lighting works very well here.
other: i can see a lot of potential in this shot, but it has a few flaws that are very distracting. The focus is off, for one, perhaps if you could have leaned up against something it would have helped the camera focus better. the flat contrast, for two, makes the image very boring. but, you did find a great moment in time to press the shutter. Those eyes are staring into my soul, with questions that I cannot answer. Why do we lock up animals for the sake of us being able to stare at them through glass? That, i may never know. but, as  dahkota said earlier, i think it was your equipment that set you back, not your eyes. Keep up the good work, I hope to see more of your work in the future, and be able to comment on it. If you have any more questions, you are more than welcome to PM me anytime.

| Good composition and tones. Excellent timing to capture the subject. I think your equipment held you back here - either not enough reach or not enough resolution to survive the crop required. In this case, I would say its not the photographer its the equipment. |

| Some good potential, but this comes off as a bit dull and soft. I copied it into my image editor out of curiosity, and some quick adjustments of levels, curves, saturation, clarify and sharpening really made it pop a lot more. |

| Beautiful animal and excellent expression - almost eye contact, but the contrast could have done with adjustment and the brightness. It also seems out of focus, but I'm guessing you zoomed in from some distance. |

| Very thought-provoking expression. Image seems a little soft, like the shutter speed was a bit too slow. |

| unfortunately the focus is too soft. It it was sharper and tighter cropped, the impact would be fantastic. Defintely tells a great story. |
