I quite like it - especially the eye as you note. The head angle is oddly realistic and it feels like he is scanning the viewer. I wish there was a little more sky around him as he feels trapped in the small space. Lovely sharpness.

Excellent sharpness and exposure looks good. I like the plumage detail and eye contact. May be an option to put the bird higher in the frame.

Very sharp and very details, a good wing spread too. The strange yet good HA is what I like most about this image.

[Geurt Bloem]

Works well for me Dave, sweet image.

[Chris Kotze]

Wow Dave what a great angle and HA. Super detail and exposure

Hi Dave,

Very nicely done. Good exposure, nice pose, detail in the plumage and HA.
