    I like the composition and the lovely pose but the plumage seems to lack a little detail?? Maybe a tad more sharpening??

    Nice shot of a beautiful bird! I would sharpen the bird more as Jonathan suggested as the bird looks a bit soft...may be it's because of the NR.

    I didnt read the other comments until I got to the bottom but I was going to make the same comment. Great looking bird and a nice scene but now were near your usual solid techs.. Something looks wrong.

    Chris if you RP as it certainly has lost detail, I might suggest pulling back some Contrast, then perhaps some shadow, as the blacks look choke within the head and this may also help give a little more definition to the eye?
