    Wonderful pose (even with HA), details and I love the OOF tree. The fully spread wings and tail really add for me. TFS

    Good full pose here, only a fully lit front wing would have made it better but it is still not bad. Did you lighten that underwing? Looks OK, just being curious.

    Thanks Dan, yes I raised a bit of shadow, not really needed, light angle not bad, maybe 20 degrees off.

    I'd be happy with this terrific take off Dan, i like the curled wing tips, sharp talons and the muted branches in the BG. Bet this was fun!

    Super image, I really like the pose and the background could not be better.
    My eyes may be playing tricks on me so just ignore if you disagree but when I study the head and bill I sometimes detect a slight halo.

    Thanks Jon, I can also see it, I downsize and sharpen for web with TK actions, sometimes they can be oversharp I think we causes the Halo.
