Nice closeup. It is not easy getting the entire beak and eyes covered by the depth of field in a tight shot. You may experiment with placing the focus point half way on the beak, so that the depth of field (which is normally a bit infront of the focus point and a bit behind) covers the eye as well as the tip of the beak. Slightly toning down the highlights would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely close up. The details are nice. The background has come out well, looks like strokes of a brush. The details and the sharpness is good. Thanks for sharing.
