These photos are beautiful, but I feel like this shoot had a lot of potential and the final result is a bit of a disappointment. If the editorial is titled "Bird Fantasy" that gives the photographer a lot to work with: feathers, beaks, etc. and although a few of those elements appear hear and there, more could have been done. I do love the emotion in the first photo. The pose and expression of the model makes me think she's some evil, slightly crazy bird lady, which is great. The hair makes the second photo, but otherwise it falls flat for me. Same with the third; the accessories are doing all the work, but the photography isn't anything special. I think this shoot would benefit from some different crops, angles, and perspectives. Every single picture is shot from the waist up, the model is sitting in every one, and the background does not change. I think the art director needed to give everyone on this shoot a bit more direction and have them push the limits a bit more, because these shots are alright, but since when is "alright" good enough?
