Kudos for getting this guy in flight. Not easy to do.
I would clone out the extra catchlight and back off on the sharpening.
There is a halo around the bill and details seem a bit crunchy to me.
What is the splotchiness on the lower part of the extended wing? Is this natural?
Great BG and I would smooth out the horizontal pale white branch in the BG.
I have lots of suggestions but it is still a good frame! Worth a bit of TLC!

Thanks Gail. The lower part of the wing is natural. I appreciate the feedback. I haven’t shot much this year and for some reason I’ve been really second-guessing my processing lately. I seem to go through these cycles. I’ll admit I need to learn Photoshop much better. I process 98% in LR. Some because that’s where I’m most comfortable and second because it’s much faster. Two bad reasons.

nice dynamic frame Kurt! love the open beak. I wish the near wing was a bit lower
processing issues mentioned above, looks like a bit too much sharpening/contrast and masking issue in the lower part of the far wing

Nice to see the bill open. Nice background to boot as well. I like the framing.
