The composition is fine. A vertical would also have worked. The eye contact is good. I wish the light was directly falling on it ie. frontal lighting. That would have been better in getting details in the eye. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice profile image. The eye contact and the details are nice. Sharp. Nice birding at your farm :). Thanks for sharing.

I agree that a frontal lighting would have been good here. Its is sharp, but I do see some sharpening artefacts on the beak and the breast plumage. The composition is fine. how big a crop is this?

Nice details. This makes a good portrait. Wondering whether you need to reduce the highlights on the breast. TFS.
