I actually like this composition a lot. I wish the brightest part of the bird is not the underwing near the body but more on the head, that probably requires a little more head turn? I adore the hint of clouds in the BG. :D

Very nice indeed Jim, I wish I had one as good as this.
I don't think the highlights are blown but I would be tempted to reduce them slightly and in turn I think I would try to make the rest of the bird just that little bit brighter.
Lovely details in the plumage and the all important eye is beautifully rendered.

I agree that the very brightest whites could be toned down, but I love everything else here. Composition, pose, clouds in the BG.

Jim this one looks like it as it's eye on you with the way it holds it's head,it all looks excellent to me.

A good one, Jim. Nice full-spread soaring position, handsome sky with touch of clouds, good detail. I like the focused hunting pose.

[David Salem]

Great looking frame Jim. The sky looks nice and the details look fantastic. Well done
