Nice pose on the bird and i like the background as well. I would sharpening the head a little more. Nice light as well.

The face does look like it could go for an additional round of sharpening for web purposes, but I love the subject, BG, perch, talon, Too bad the front was not sunlit, but wing is nicely...and this would look great in my files.

Hi Tim, good look back pose, with good DOF on the Falcon. Comp works well, and you have a nice clean BG. Another vote for a touch more sharpening.

Nice one Tim! I imagine we'll be seeing more of this bird from you in the upcoming weeks! Agree with the sharpening comments.

[Tim Foltz]

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions, I will be adding some sharpening on the final image for my website.

He sure looks solid here. Nice pose and colors. That was a tough morning for shimmers. Surprised you got one even this sharp. Cant wait till they get really active. Well done
