    I like to pose with the foot up and the nice Head angle looking right at us. Just the right amount of rock showing and the background looks good with a little color. The eye has a little hazy sheen to it.
    I would add a few points of black or vibrance to the Bird which will give the bird some more the Depth and detail and will probably address the eye issue at the same time. Nice capture

    A beauty of a shot, Carolyn. Great pose and classic Barnegat perch and BG. David's suggestion is worth trying just to bring it up a notch. It's possible just the tiniest additional sharpening around the eye might help. Well done.

    Nicely done. Gives it just a bit more pop.
