So envious of the frame as I've not had the chance to shoot this amazing bird yet! Love the engaging look, cleanliness, and detailed view of those amazing feet! Only suggestion would be to loosen the crop a
bit as his head is getting close to the edge of the frame. As good a frame as I've seen from you. It's so money.
