    This is great, John! Super sharp, great exposure, nice action+pose, and clean BG. Love the reflection in the eye as well. Feet too. I might loosen the crop just a touch. Otherwise money!

    This is one of your very, very best. The perch and the feet are fabulous. The spread tail along with the (darker thus visible) undertail coverts are great. And I love the soft light.

    John:

    Very dynamic! I can almost hear him calling. Well done on the exposure.
    I personally like the crop, very much in your face, fits his pose and action.
    Clean, elegant perch.

    Cheer
