    This is an immature bird but a little confused. It has the eye color of a 1st immature and the plain gray beak of a juvenile, on top of which it has a brown tone, a regional variation on the normally black, white and gray.

    Looks good. Nice details in those feathers and the dark tones. I like the framing.

    Love the detail here. The breast feathers are beautiful. I think this has to be one of your sharpest shots. Excellent job on the exposure as well. Lots of detail on the white hindneck. I might crop a bit off the bottom, about where the breast feathers start to fall out of focus.

    Yes, one of your better ones IQ-wise. Lots of great details, and good smooth BG. I'm with Dorian on the crop suggestion.
