    Pretty cool. I like the pose and wing feather detail. I think maybe lightening the face shadow a little mostly the eyes would improve and perhaps burn the brightness of the rock too. That would also help show the right foot better .

    Hi Andre. This is a great image..! I love the raised wing pose and all the detail that shows. Very 'don't mess with me'... I agree with Cheryl, would try and put a little more detail in the eyes and soften the shadow under the beak if possible. At first glance it looks to have two beaks.. DON

    The pose is fantastic and technically well captured enough to overcome any "harsh" light issue. So just flown in, or is there some type of display going on here as well?

    You've done a great job of handling the harsh light. Most importantly working right down sun angle. Love the pose.

    Super pose, and I love the variety of tones in the wings. Good suggestions from Cheryl.

    Great shot. I love the wing pose and the raise leg. The desert BG is great.
