Hi joe,
I think the best part of this image is the feather caught on the toe.
Great BG and I like the head turn.
The blacks on the top of the head look a little faded- perhaps add a couple of points of black selectively to this area.
You were a little bit off the sun angle and have lost some detail in the blacks on the edge of the wing. I would try to get a bit more detail if you can.

Perfect head turn, lovely background, and that feather in the talon tops it off. I also wondered about the off-black crest.
Hi Joe, Love the bird's crop! I agree with the underexposure, and reworking the head toupe! Lovely pose, interesting feather on the talon and BG is sweet. TFS
Gail, Bill, and Ann, thank you for viewing, commenting and suggesting improvements to this image. I revisited the image using your suggestions to edit the image. This repost reflects those suggestions, nice to have another pair of eyes. Thanks again, all.
Looks good Joe!
A really good frame from you here Joe, simple but very effective. The little feather by the feet adds an extra layer of interest

Hi Joe, great head turn, and I like the light on the face and eye. Nice clean BG, and I too think the feather on the talon looks cool.
Really good looking image Joe. Thank you for sharing.
These are great looking birds, and I like the pose this one gave you. Beautiful light and lovely BG.
