I like the atmosphere here. The face looks a little soft on my monitor and looks like the wing is more in focus. I like the composition. Thank you for sharing.
Will, nice shot, maybe to much NR or needs some sharpening. Love the comp and environment.

Nice shot Will and I like the placement of the grass tussock. Looking at your bird - very similar to some of mine i.e. wing looks considerably sharper/better detailed than the head. I am wondering if the feathers are finer on the head and easily ruffled.
Hi Will. I agree with Juan, I think the face looks just a bit softer than the wings and body. I like the OOF brown grass in the background. There seem to be two "blobs" on the top left of the grass and I can't tell if they are just compression artifacts or parts of the plant itself, but if the latter is the case it's an easy clone fix.
Thanks for posting this bird in the snow, Will. It's getting up to 35 degrees C here in a few days and hard to imagine the snow and cold you are enduring at the moment. The composition looks good with the OOF grass balancing the bird. The head does look a touch soft to me as others have noted also. Normally your shots are tack sharp so I'm guessing this may be a processing issue as you have hinted. Tone and colour on the bird look excellent and snow nicely rendered. Nice work - keep them coming.
Thanks for that Juan and Glenn. Must get closer next time
