Thats lovely Joe, a nice moment, good head angle. I'd possibly consider reducing the blues in the shadows in the white feathers, but apart from that, spot on

Hi Mike, thank you for viewing and commenting. I checked the high res TIFF, the blue in the shadows in more prevalent here in the JPEG. I always go back and forth on removing it, white feathers shows it more. Here is a edit and repost with it removed. Thanks again for viewing.

Subtle, but I like the RP

I love the blues in these frames. Detail in the whites looks great. The preening pose is wonderful. Nice one.
