Beautiful light and exposure excellent detail wonderful colours. My only slight criticism is the OOF twig bottom right, I would remove it. The crop is OK but I wonder if a portrait format would be slightly more pleasing to the eye

Stunning! Captive? just 20 feet away !
perfect color max detail; agree lose that br stick

Stunning image quality, brilliant detail from head to feet, and perfect light/exposure. Have to agree about removing the twig bottom right corner and maybe steer away from the square crop and make it a vertical crop ..but apart from that maybe the best Hobby image I have seen

Boy you were so lucky getting so close to this raptor, and what a gorgeous creature. Your exposure, detais and pose are super. I wonder whether you have enough canvas to present this in a vertical format. I feel as though it might be even more powerful.

LOvely photo and IQ is top notch. It looks like a very good job at pp'n also. Lovely job on the blacks and beak. It is a bit tight on bottom for me and I also like a vertical taking off the right side. Looking forward to seeing more.

Wonderful detail and I love the stare. This image screams vertical to me

Terrific photo, love the detail and complimentary BG. When was this taken? Due to length of the tail and primaries it appears to be a young bird.
