Odd pose with the crouched look and hidden tail. I do like that the talon is visible. Face is very sharp. You needed to point your lens down more, and the background is too saturated IMO.
Wonderful eye color and clarity ! Nice profile pose, but agree the backdrop seems a bit bright and i think a little more space on the bottom...great shot though and great subject
Love the clinching pose very much, love the eye contact, the sharpness and details. Agree about the background is too bright or saturated, and more room on the bottom.
