Very nice feather display with lots to see in the plumage. I like the eye contact and EXP control, a bit tight in the frame.

Hi Cory, I also like the detail,HA,muted backround and even lighting. I agree the image is too tight in the frame...

Hi Corey - techs look solid and not bad for ISO 800 from the d300s!!
Agree that its a little tight in the frame - otherwise looking good.

Keep them coming and dont forget to comment on other peoples images.

Agree on above comments, can add I would lighten the left side of the face a bit more, tone down the greens ( a little) and do give it more room as suggested !!!

Remember to leave a few comments when you post, only fair to others and will be a great learning tool for you !!! Thanks !!

Thank you all for your suggestions and kind words. here is what I have come up with, hopefully it will look better.

Extra room on the repost looks good.

I like the pose and composition.
You may want to try a bit of additional sharpening on the bird. It looks like it may handle it.

Nicely done.
