I captured this one as it was hopping on the long grasses growing on some sand dunes.

Great looking perch and BG and position of the bird. I like the head turn. I'm wondering if the bird is slightly over sharpened? It looks a bit 'hard' but could just be me. This is being a *huge* stickler but if ethics allow perhaps consider cloning out the knob on the perch above the bird? It's a little distracting as I find the rest of the frame just so clean. TFS

Very nice pose on the bird with a good head angle, nice background as well. The exposure looks to me to be just a hair over.

Will I think you have captured a good image but the processing doesn't look right to me. Possibly the contrast is high and also little overexposed and the image looks a tad oversharpened.

[Glenn Conlan]

Fine detail is nice, maybe a tad less on the exposure as others have commented
