Jack the Osprey looks good only negative just a little busy in the background for my taste.Their seems to be some streaky highlights in the background.But like you said it was what you had. Wing position is nice.TFS
A beautiful image Jack. The Osprey looks great and is set off well by the background. The background is quite unique. I love the color pallet and it being out of focus., but somehow it is not melting away, and possibly competing with the Osprey. I still love the file.
Pretty intense frame! Lighting is lovely and the background looks better than I expected from the the thumbnail. Eye contact is superb and creates much intensity. Detail and exposure are perfect. I would desaturate blue channel a bit to get rid of blue on far wing, but that's personal preference.
