Agree with your notes, super focus on the face, framed and a nice background to show the eye and details on this cute little one.

What a initial impact. Excellent detail, very well focused. Looks like she is posing for you, with her head turned " this is my best side." Thank you for sharing.

This photo definitely does have the cuteness factor. If she had eyelashes I could envision her batting them at the camera.
Your composition was great. Both the shadow and light side of her body lead right into the focus of the shot. The colors are great, and the focus is spot-on, aiming right at her eye.
Excellent shot.

A very beautiful picture, it seems she is looking at you with this lovely face expression -super angle and close up , I love the way she fills the space , fantastic focus, perfect exposure, contrast and light influx are excellent - I love this body design and the color range in soft pastel colors , your color saturation is genuine and natural, , your image is clear and sharp and the green background is a beautiful natural color contrast

great first impression, well done, good luck xoxo

A most unusual duck image. The eye is positively haunting and the colors are well captured. I like the green background, but less so the dark shadow behind the head.
