Very nice action and lighting in this image with excellent detail in the wings Sid. I love his expression too. The crop is a little tight but it works for me in this image. Lovely capture !!!
The eye contact is top shelf as is the feather detail. Well exposed with good sharpness.
I would prefer a crop that is not so tight. The bottom part of the frame most importantly.
I'm pretty sure the horizon is about 5 degrees off.
Tight in the frame doesn't bother me on this one as the bird is moving toward the viewer rather than across the frame. Marvellous pose, I really like the symmetry here. Great color and detail.
Very nice image, I agree with the horizon but you did well with the exposure and details. I also wish a little more room but that would be it my friend!
