A nice shot, it needs more room and if you used a different aperature you would have kept the head sharper. but still good as is.

Great pose and BG. I would give it more room and the bird has only little detail. Is this a heavy crop?

[Maxis Gamez]

What a lovely looking bird. This image looks like a heavy crop with very little details. I also find the bird soft in the frame.

[Shawn Marques]

Wow, what an unsually bottom heavy bird! Flight looks rather difficult for it. As the problems have already been mentioned, I would like to add that there seems to be distracting a glow around the bird, perhaps caused during post-processing. I do appreciate the view. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking bird I only know in pictures :(

There's a noticeable halo around the bird, either from pixelation or S/H.

The pose is to die for! Thanks for sharing this.
