More neck?

Otherwise, pretty killer!

Ha! Love his hairdo! Great details on this one!

I really like that dark BG but I keep loosing his beak in there. I wonder if either lightening the BG or his beak just a tiny bit to get a little separation?

I think Jeff's point about more neck is valid but I could go either way because this is about his head gear. Had you tried a tight vertical crop in this one?

Thanks guys.
I did some recovery over the beak but I agree more could be used. Below pulls up the shadows a tad more for some greater separation. Slightly less toning applied
I wish I had a bit more neck too. Nothing from SOOC on the bottom.

More requested neck aside, it still fills the frame wonderfully.

And that eye!

Edit is much better. I don't feel the need to keep staring at his beak trying to see it now and can just enjoy his cool head gear. I think you used just the right amount to create the separation needed. Any higher I'm sure it would have started looking funky.

Great image! I can see the point about more neck, but I also think that the head being stuffed up into the frame like that makes it all about the head and the startling feather-eye-beak complex, which really is what makes the picture so stunning. More neck might make it a bit more of a naturalist illustration, which would diminish its impact, just as its impact would be less if the background were more naturalistic rather than black. I also agree that beak looks good now.

Jeff, Dave, Chiron

Thanks for the additional feedback
Chiron,
appreciate your specific comments about naturalistic (vs artistic, hopefully).

I think it is a "fun" image, almost reminds me of the string art pictures that were popular back in the 70's.
