Very cool angle on this pose. It needs a CCW rotation though. I guess you wanted the eye contact to be level as it is posted. The detail and bg are great.

The dark head gets a touch lost, but helps emphasize the eyes so I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Cute view - I like the "look" the bird is giving us. :)

Great DOF Jim. I see that it needs a rotation too. Nice shot.

Great angle, Jim. What were you doing to provoke his suspicion? Yeah, rotation is in order.
