    Like the pose on the bird almost looks like it is falling. The composition works well.

    Neat pose and sharp. The head and face and upper breast are in the dark. Some lightening with the Shadow Slider and/or NIK Detail Extractor and/or Burning in Photoshop would help.

    Thanks Artie for viewing and commenting. Here is an edit opening the shadows and slight dodge on the face.

    Better, but I believe the NIK Color Efex Pro Detail Extractor at a reduced opacity would do better still. And I think that a slight burn is the correct term for lightening.
