Well done John, i like the calling pose and the perch, nice details on those feathers!

Hi John, light appears quite strong and so the darks & shadows are far more intense masking a lot of the detail & finer detail you have captured. Are you planning to shoot more of these in the coming weeks, if so can you drop me a line as I might get you to change a setting to see if this makes a difference.
