    Beautiful image Karl! I like the intense stare, IQ, clean BG, sharpness, details and loose composition. I could also see a tighter version. Would love to see this bird one day.

    Thats a great 'stern' look you're getting Karl, what did you do to upset him?!

    Don't know the specifics of this bird, but the details look good to me, maybe some of the snow could take some subtle burning.

    Very nice work

    Hi Karl, My dad used to look at me like that Lol. You captured quite the expression there! Lovely composition and background. Totally unique perch! There seems to be a little "surprise" on the perch under the bird ... perhaps clone it out?

    Nice one Karl. I like the pose and the perch and the fact that we can see the eyes well but with he was looking up a bit more. Nice details too. Well done

    Something absolutely classic about this -- could be a Robert Bateman painting! Beautiful!
