    Awesome view of the huge webbed foot with good texture and details. Whites look OK, just wondering if there is more detail to pull out at the wingtips. It is good that we see the eye. I'd tone down the brighter streaks above the head, and I'd also crop a good chunk of the FG to make this a square comp...as is there is just too much FG showing IMO.

    Bushan,

    I agree about Daniel's comments above. See if you can pull out some more detail in the feathers (they may not be blown out, but they are pretty close). I'm not a fan of square crops (still haven't figured out why), but I think it would work well here because of the raised (diagonal foot). You'll have to get rid of a bit off the top as well. Give it a shot!

    Fun image to see that big webbed foot and you also have the face which is nice. I agree on the foreground (FG) being overpowering and Daniel's idea of a square crop could solve the issue.
