    Here is another from Bosque Del Apache WR. I like that the eye is just beyond the shadows of the wing. Some may not like the shadow, but I like the pose too much to pass it up.

    Oh really nice peeking of the head , love the wing pose .
    Nice overall colors and tones ... with good details showing .
    The shadow is a bit problematic ... not much you can do .

    Nice one and TFS

    Overall a really nice frame with a super pose, but the shadow does detract for me.

    I love the view of the near wing but an suffering the same issues as the others regarding the shadow across the face. You really needed the head to be clear of the wing's shadow for this to land as well as it could. Background
    looks good but shows quite a bit of noise, especially for ISO 800.

    The pose is great. For me, the shadow is lethal.
