I would lift the eye a bit or put a bit of catchlight. Actually it has one, just select the eye and curve it abit

Fabs' suggestion sounds good.

This is just gorgeous Mike. Would look great printed on some nice textured w/c paper. Agree about the eye adjustment.

I am loving this treatment of your bird images Mike! Its a wonderful medium for portraying them and would make a great collection. I agree the eye highlight could be tweaked a touch - although the dark band is perfect for the bandit mask!

Mike,

A perfect subject for the rendering.The tonal ranges work nicely,maybe a bit more separation around the head but all in all a pleasing artistic image
