Add some canvas at the top.

Thank you for looking.

Haim:

Nice banking pose, tail spread. The image doesn't seem to be critically sharp to my eye. I know it isn't a crop issue or from shutter speed! Did you need to do some extensive post processing/noise reduction here?

From a comp. stand point, I would prefer a bit more room to the right and below.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank yo Randy,
No noise redaction.
Post process: from Raw to JPG some level and a smart sharp with PS, little crop and add some canvas at the top.
It's look pretty sharp on my monitor.
Once more thank you.

I love the pose and species, good detail and although it looks sharp, on my monitor it looks oversharpened, also I would ad more room all arround.
Congratulaitons, very powerfull pose.

Hi Haim:

I like the pose very much and I think is a very good image. I also agree with folks that seems to be a bit oversharpened or maybe could be that I don't recognise the colors of this bird. Anyway very well done.

Bye,

Very nice pose and eye contact. Agree on it being over sharpened, that's probably what Randy referred to.
Good to see you :)

It does appear too sharp Haim. Great pose bud. A little tight on the RHS for me though. THanks for sharing.
