Hi Eric, a killer pose for me and a super Autumnal BKG that sets the subject off nicely.

However to me you are lacking the SS, I would have gone to 1/3200 and let the ISO be whatever it needs to be i.e. 12,800. The capture would be sharp and any noise can be easily dealt with within most current software. Also, the subject appears to be on the same focal plane as the stump, yet the stump/perch looks soft???

Hope you get more opportunities in the coming weeks this could be an a some project.

Lovely flight pose. I like the detail on the bird. It appears to have some magneta colour cast ? Maybe my monitor.

I like the shot but I too think there is a magenta cast.
