  Another Great set Dessie though one thing that I think detracts from some of them is the cropping.
  The tight crop definitely suits #3 and #5 but i think you have cropped a bit too tight on #1 and #4.
  Tight cropping can work to great effect when you are displaying the head and eyes as you have done with #3 & #5
  I feel that nearly entire subjects with clipped wings/feet don’t work as well. I always try to show the subject and leave a bit of space around it and include some of the immediate environment unless it is specifically meant to be a tight crop showing just part of the subject.
  This is my personal taste and each to their own. Your images are of course excellent and always show great detail and spot on focusing…../Mikka
