Beautiful portrait, great details and sharpness.

Very nice shot indeed, excellent focus and exposure.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Looks pretty good! I liek the alert posture, nice perch, and the BG is very nice with those vertical streaks. Exposure and details perfect. I'd just look into toning down the front legs a little bit.

Like Daniel suggested, tone down the leg a little and there is not much else wrong here. Excellent image.

Hi Shawn, oh yes, you nailed this alright. Great pose and HA, and the light is superb. The colours show up so well, as does all the feather detail, and the BG is sweet. Well captured.
