Jon:

Very nice details in the dark plumage despite the flat light.

Excellent pose and head angle.

I might consider a bit off the top, personal taste.

Cheers

Randy

Lovely detail Jonathan, very nice image, well done

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Ditto Randy comments regarding the crop. Nice pose with good head angle and pose. TFS

[Diane Miller]

Wonderful pose! I like the idea of a slight crop from the top, and can't decide about the OOF rock LL. Have you tried a version with it removed?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thanks everyone - a crop and a rock it is!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Perfect wingspread and head angle. Lovely blacks and good details throughout. Yes to the rock Diane mentions, and I'd look into lightening the eye a tad to bring out the beautiful aqua colours in it.
