Super shot good timing, I like as presented but if it were mine I think I would lower the highlights just a little.

Great pose Brian, love the curled wing tips. Never seen one of these in real life, beautiful intense colouring

Hey Jon, TY for the comment. Are you talking about the feather stems on the primaries? There are a couple 255 pts there, I suppose just the nature of exposing this guy right in the flat light. Could prob tame that a touch.

Thank you Mike, they are quite majestic if not fierce in person. Hope you get to.

Coming from a raptor in flight master, I receive that. Thank you Will!

After staring a while, I produced another version pulling back what seems to be a slight yellow hue.

Think I like it a little better; lets the colors and tones breathe some IMO..

Hey Brian, this looks great! The repost, although the changes subtle, does improve it. I often add a touch of cyans to green BGs as I feel Canon makes those greens a bit too yellow myself. Personal taste I suppose. Nice wing position and overall parallel flight path.

That's a great tip TY Daniel. I agree, we do often see a bit much yellow in them.
