It looks to me a photo with good exposure and details. You may consider improving the sharpness a bit and not showing the perch that much though. Thanks for sharing !

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice alert pose, and the perch looks good. Nice BG too - although you may opt to tone down the darker patch in front of the bird. There is a dark line above the contour of the rock, and especially thick in LLC, that should be dealt with.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Precioso!

Love the way this guy is posing, he looks so proud!
There seems to be some halo around the rock. I also wish to see this one a bit larger. IMO.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Pose, sharpness, eye contact and perch look good. It looks as if you blurred the BG but there is a darkish band near the perch and Daniel mentioned some artifacts already.

[Ramon M. Casares]

It works for me as presented, great pose and BG, nice light and colors, exposure, textures and sharpness look good two.
Congratulations!

[Simon Bennett]

A fine image indeed.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Beautiful image Lorant, loved the pose and details here. Beautiful bird too...

[Dave Hardcastle]

As others have said, great pose and background. Without the black line around the rock it would be perfect.

great pose and HA. Perfect in fact. I'd apply a little more NR to the BG. Thanks for sharing,
