Great bokeh, what a nice green. Nice clarity.

Nice and sharp from beak to eyes and great stare into the camera - it just needs a little light on the right hand side so that we can see the detail in the left eye. Difficult to achieve given the strong natural lighting but maybe a little dab of flash would have been worth a try.

Good close-up shot. Wish the eyes were brighter but nice pic anyway.

A squarer crop might help us focus more on the details of the birds face.

Well, hello, bird! It's not often I find myself eyeball to eyeball with a raptor.

Great close up shot

Catchlight(s) in the eye(s) would help immensely.

Clear and sharp. The left eye could be brighter and it's a shame the light wouldn't support catchlight in the eye.
