Hi James

Pretty pose and like the head turn Would rather have a little more of a turn. The snow right below the bird has lost detail for being over. Would try cloning out since it detracts from the image. Did a slight color correction.

As presented like all the elements but not together. The bottom part is very busy. btw I think the point of focus is on the back of the bird.

Beautiful bird - love the colours, but agree with AL - for me the most distracting bit is the POF on the tail.

It also seems a little soft on the bird. Maybe it's my monitor. Never the less a beautiful bird.

Agree with Oscar - sweet pose!
