CommentI liked the position of the head and the beak pointing diagonally so I wanted to play on framing the angle. I also like how the the tones and textures spurge outwards from where the below the eyes. The back tones I think also compliment and contrast the bird very well.
I am also guessing the bird is a juvenile male.
