You caught that black cap and eye to perfection. Awesome job with EXP. Beautiful canvas overall. TFS

John:

Very nice comp. with the wings working the diagonals of the frame, and the beak and gaze extending the diagonal line down towards the lower left corner.

Good angle in the frame, catchlight.

Well done

I like the wing position.
Image is sharp.
The whites around the chin are a bit hot with little detail.
I would try to tease out some more detail if possible.
I also think the image needs a bit more contrast with a punch of blacks to the neutrals in selective color.
In LR, I would also decrease the luminance of the blues in the sky to darken the blue a bit.
Would love to see a repost,
Gail
