nice eye, wondeful feather details

I might consider cleaning up the bg on the lower left and making it the same as the rest

[David Salem]

Nice pose is right. Good HA and the bird is well exposed and very sharp. Stands out from the BG well. Nice work.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Chris you really nailed this one - great exposure and detail and a classic pose, love the setting too.

[Michael Rominger Jr]

Wonderful shot Christopher! God title as well because you nailed a great pose. Great feather detail and exposure. Like the light and the angle it's coming from. Also like the BG. The lower left doesn't bother me and if anything I actually prefer it.

I like the HA, the details on the bird and the pose

i may be tempted to clean a bit of the BG, here is a attempt at it

[Diane Miller]

Beautiful detail in the bird! I like the BG cleanup.

Hi Chris, you certainly did capture a great pose, and good DOF on him too. The feather detail is nice and sharp, and I like Vishal's version on the BG. I feel if you maybe toned down the BG in your OP, it could work too.

Perfect head angle, nice light, and I love the perch...I do wish there was more separation between it and the rump. I'm OK with the BG.
