    Nice sharp portrait. like the leg lift. Looks like it needs a little clockwise rotation.

    This is a fantastic result at ISO 20,000. The belly -- where you've presumable lifted the shadows -- is getting noisy, but the head and neck look great. I assume you didn't do much if any cropping. Bird is very close to right hand side,
    so a bit more room there would be good. More room below would also help, but my bet is that you don't have it! But a very fine result!

    Nice work, Jon. Wonderful at ISO 20,000. I agree with the previous comments. Thank you for sharing.

    I would not have noticed the high iso if you did not mention.... I like the bird, the surroundings, not so much...

    Nice portrait Jon , a well timed shot caught in running action
    Head turn is nice , well controlled very high iso shot ... nice work on that front .
    Would agree with Dorian about your chosen crop , but not on the noise front .
    The subject does look a bit thin in parts from the luminosity POV in my opinion ... surprised to see the greens that " intense "

    Overall a fine image
