Luca,

I do like how it appears that the bird is playing peekaboo with you, the dark background and that the eye is clearly visible. I'm not sure that this works for me because I'd like to see a little more of the bird. But I like the peekaboo concept.

The bird is very sharp. This is an interesting comp. It is a different comp. and so hard to judge my reaction to it.

Luca, I like that the bird is sharp and there's a good catch light but I'd like to see more of the bird.
