Lovely bird, IQ, framing, and pose here. A beautiful shot. The only thing I'm unsure about is the direct-on light and the resultant lack of tonal separation with the background.

Nice pose light and setting. IQ looks nice too. I find it a little tight on the bottom for the feet. TFS

[Mike Singh]

Very nice pose, composition and light!

I love the light. Good vertical composition. Great hint of habitat. Although the head is parallel to the sensor I would have preferred a slight turn towards us. Nicely done!
