Very nice pose, details, exposure control and eye contact. I might blur the BG more and give it a bit more room. There is a slight sharpening halo around legs and neck.
Wonderful timing in this image Loukie and I love the forward thrust of the wings. Excellent detail and eye contact too and I agree with Axels suggestion of a tad more room. Many thanks for sharing.
Very cool! I like this alot. The wing position is nice, and you adjusted your EC perfectly for the situation. I would keep the BG as is, but agree with more room.
Agree with previous comments, great shot Loukie! I agree with Axel that a slight blurring of the background will "pop" the subject more, and perhaps a slight toning down of the whites will bring out more feather detail.
