    Travis:

    A big welcome to BPN! A great place to learn and grow as a nature photographer.

    An impressive fellow with the intense stare and launching pose. Sharp and well exposed. Strong definition from the side lighting.

    Be sure to comment on any special post processing, it helps with the critique.

    I find him a bit large in the frame, just a bit more space if you have it.

    Look forward to more.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Welcome to BPN and what a terrific first post. Congratulations on this one, especially on getting such a super image on your first sighting of this amazing raptor. I personally like seeing your bird large in the frame here. Your exposure and details looks great, and I like the way the light is hitting the bird. The in-your-face stare is pretty nice.

    Looking forward to more.

    The tight crop works for me because he's coming at you -- what a gorgeous pose and wonderful IQ! Maybe the color temp is just a little cool.
