    Hi Will, personally I feel this has more going for it tan the pervious one. Glad you picked one without a wing tag.

    I know we see thing differently but a a slight increase in Vibrancy just to add some richness, as the colouration lends itself to that, plus I would just add an RGB Curves adj within ACR just to get some deeper tones, but well done it getting this one.

    I love the angle of the bird on this shot. The left wing tips seemed to have been cut. Just curious if you cloned out something.

    Thanks for the comments...No cloning Eric...the tips of the birds left wing are slightly curled upwards

    That's a beaut Will!

    Sweet early banking pose, great eye contact, subtle hint of clouds in the blue sky. I love that you can even see the finer detail in the nasal feathers.

    Composition works nicely, an all around winner IMO!

    Nice to see the faint clouds. The pose is nice as well.
