Like it a lot David! Great detail in the eye and talons. Like the BG too, although I might desaturate the yellows a bit (the yellow BG draws my eye away from the bird). Thanks for posting!

I have heard nothing but good things about Joe Overstreet. Agree with the yellows needing a desaturation. Love the stare and sharp clean image.

Stunnning. I rather liked the yellows as they tie in with his feet and that little yellow spot above his beak. (On my laptop)

Lovely image. Sharp, great head and body angle. EXP perfect. And you picked a great location for the dark green to yellow transition. I am fine with the yellows as they are. Now here is the strange thing. I opened this image two hours ago and there was extensive posterization of the BKGR. I closed it and tried again and now it looks perfect. The same thing happened to me yesterday with another image. Any of you computer experts have a clue?

Fantastic! Loved the tonality here.

I would love to know as well, can we post this in one of the other forums to inquire?
