A lovely, intense portrait. The feather detail is great.

That is one bird I would not want to mess with...

That bird looks like it's share of killing.

His eye gives him an angry look. Beautiful details and framing.

Well done. The framing is really good. -- I like the way the bird and the black space are balancing each other in opposite corners. And you're right: I live near the Iwakura river (perhaps it shouldn't really be dignified with the name "river") and walk along it almost every day. I see these beautiful birds and enjoy watching them. But it also occurs to me rather often that while they look beautiful to me, to the fish they are huge killers! It's all about perspective....
