Nice shot Ste - tho I feel it's a little too tightly framed and could do with some breathing space. Great shot tho nonetheless.

Have to disagree with you Azz, I wanted it tight. There is space for it to look into, the dead space there would be with a wider crop would be a waste of the frame.
The shot is about the eye, any wider and it starts getting lost. A portrait doesn't have to have space around the head imho.

I guess it's just personal preference - I kinda like the one you did here (second one) - they're both nice tho

Lovely detail, but it's cropped to tightly for me.

Great shot - clear and sharp. It's amazing how clean his beak is - do you do any work on it?

Lovely clear image, but I agree that the crop is too tight, it needs just a little more space at the bottom. It wouldn't need much more, but at the moment it is an uncomfortable crop.

Very intense, and I am undecided on the crop, but the actual picture is superb, excellent quality XX

I agree with your cropping comments. I am a fan of the tight crop for portraits and I might have cropped this one even more tightly to accentuiate the eye. Great work.
