Great image super sharpness with that combo well done.

[Mike Milicia]

Great pose, nice and sharp, and branch is a bonus !

Would like to see bird a bit higher in the frame.
Sky color is a bit intense, maybe oversaturated?

[Arthur Morris]

Pretty darned good ninth post! Strengths well noted above. With a sky like this, I often de-SAT the blues 10-20 points to make the sky a greyer blue.

later and love, artie

One sharp image Love the pose Agree on backing down the blues !!! I'm fine with the selected crop and space around the bird !!!! Excellent !!!

[Ed Cordes]

Wow! Great image. It grabs you right away. The intent stare while landing and the branch are wonderful elements. The blue does look a bit intense.

[Dave Phillips]

other than already mentioned sky nit, this is a really really nice image.
Under wing detail is soooooper

[Mike Wilson]

Killer action shot of this behavior! Really nailed it.

[Michael Borcherds]

Well captured, good detail & having the branch a real bonus - ditto on the sky

[Jim Neiger]

Very nice, Stephen! I really like the wing position, sharpness, and the big stick. Good job on the exposure too.
