 Yes, I know this is not a person and so it won't do well but I love it and the challenge description says nothing about the subject having to be human.

I love this shot. I think voters are much picker based on their interpretation of the subject for contest. The colors in this shot are awesome, I love the difference between subject and background. The background really enhances the subject. I think the photo is taken very well. The focus in great on the face, which is where it should be in a portrait in my opinion. The definition is the feather is great. I would like to have seen a little more focus on the beck and more of the feathers, that is the only thing I could see. Personally I think you would have just scored higher in a different subject matter, based on the voters thinking inside the box.

Too much Neat Image as there is quite a bit of artifacting in the background.

I think it would look better if it was just a little wider a shot showing more chest area and the very top not cut off.

Very good photo, but didn't feel it was in the spirit of the challenge. Felt like it would be unfare to others to give the score it probably deserved IMO.
