    Hi Norm - I like the clean BG and details in the face. I would have liked a bit more DOF to get the wings, specifically the nearer one more sharp. May I suggest placing the bird higher up in the frame if you have the space. I would like more space for it to look down into towards the LHC, WDYT?
    TFS, Cheers

    The IQ is not the greatest but I like the shooting angle and eye contact.

    Norm i love the streched wings and yes i agree with adding a bit of canvas on the bottom and front
    i like the details on the face which is wonderfully exposed getting the eye and the beak details perfect
    on the tail tip i see a blue edge which may be simply my unclibrated monitor at work or is it there due to highkey exposure.
    Will go home and have a look on my Mac and revisit.
