Hi William. Love it...the clarity, composition, BG, HA. The water droplets are an added bonus. Hope you're enjoying your Scottish winter! 32 centigrade here in Brisbane (I'm jealous)...love Scotland!

Pretty sweet frame. Like the pose and the detail. The grasses in the background are very nice.

Nice Frame. I love the wings.

I feel the details on the face a bit crunchy.. Did you apply more sharpening on the face ?

The detail in the whites is really nice, and the splayed feathers are great! Background is far enough back that it adds without distracting. Very nice!

I like the flight pose. great feather details and the water droplets.The whites look just about perfect. Good background. Very nice image all round.
