Nice shot. There's a softness to it that takes away from the feeling you were trying (I think) to convey

It does not seem confrontational to me, but a great portrait nonetheless! Beautiful lighting!

Stunning shot. I've never seen a bird convey so much emotion with it's eyes. I think this one will definitely do very well.

I like the one word title and find it fits this photo very well. This shot reminds me of a "motivational" photo that bosses usually have hanging on their walls at the office. Excellent clarity and color and the bright light from above adds a little more mystery to the bird. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
