Hi Ron,
Very nice feather detail........while unusual.....the head turn doesn't work for me........but this is a personal preference. Will be interesting to see others comments!

This is so different and unusual I like it !!! A fun image Your tech info looks good Close to two stops and probably could have gone a tinny more I think for this one fill flash would have been the way to go At a slower shutter speed I think you could have gotten light on the bird and filled in the body !!!

As presented I would crop some from the bottom to have the bird larger in frame !!! ..... btw the ultimate would have had the bird's head parallel to the film plane !!!!

What a fun image! Very unusual pose with great detail and background.
