During one of my morning sessions I was blessed with gorgeous warm light. This image is 80% of the original of Henry. Hope the vibrance setting I chose in ACR is not over the top. Levels and curves in PS only.

High, Akos. That light is super golden!!!!! Henry looks a little dejected in this one. Maybe it was the morning after his mate didn't return :(
My only niggle it he way the perch ends(far left). I think you need to show the end of it or crop it a little tighter to eliminate the knobbly bit. Just my opinion. :D
Beautiful image Akos! I like the pose and lighting. I agree with Chris about the end of the perch and would probably crop the image a little tighter to eliminate the knobby part.
Henry has got accostomed to you so well, that he's now posing just for the camera - what a look back pose. I really like the light which in turn has brought out the warm colours nicely. Good sharpness, and if anything, I would maybe bring in from the left just a tad, so as not to see the cut off pieces on the perch. Well captured Bro.
Akos,
I don't know the story behind Henry, but if you can get this close to him with the 300/4 he must be a very amiable sort! Wonderful image of one of the birds on my need list.

Lovely light and look back pose my friend! I guess Henry has been very cooperative! that's a friendly bird.
Fantastic light Akos! I love the look-back glance, and the ruffled feathers peeking out from behind the wing. I wouldn't mind the lestrel a little lower in the frame, and I agree about comments on the perch ending at left. Well done with this awesome individual once again:)
Akos:
Very nice, Henry at his best.
re; vibrance setting. For my taste, you are right on the edge here, but successful as posted.
Def. agree about the left end of perch.
Cheers

ooooh you fussy lot! You are right about the perch and I was obviously lazy. :) Thank you for your time.
sweet light, sweet bird, sweet compo Bro...wish this was mine :)
I might even crop closer?
Awesome Shot! That was some sweet light I like the look back pose on this beauty and the color and detail are excellent. Well Done Akos!!!!
Fantastic pose and look back.
Akos, Beautiful light and look back pose. Nicely done.:)
