Ha ha ha .. you looking for a spot on our team? lol. Nice shot and good use of selective desat, but not sure I like the feet and wings cropped off.

That's some capture, well done. Shame it isn't a little sharper but it sure is a frame filler and as for that eye... Good luck

Cool capture! It is a little dark and slightly blurred... but considering that you managed to catch the bird in flight, this is really stunning! Add a little more contrast, and you'll have a really awesome image. :)

Don't really care for the pose or the composition of this. I think if the idea of the title were to be better conveyed, the shot should have been much tighter on the head/face. Also, this could benefit from a bit of sharpening (or perhaps better focus).
