Pat, this is a good shot and nice composition but the tonal range lets this shot down and the detail in the eye is lost in shadow. I like how the background light/dark change is split by the bird and there's some lovely detail in the feathers along the neck but it's just lacking the tonal punch to make this a "great" shot.
