Impressive image William. Interesting perch and posture. Pity about the broken primary on the right wing. It may be worth putting a thin black frame around it as it is hard to see where your background starts and stops against the web page and gives me the feeling I want more space in front of the bird. I love the soft light, colours and textures.

You sure didn't have much light to work with but you made the most of it. The action is nice....and it's a great feeling to finally get an image that you've waited for. The very first thing I thought of when I opened this image was that it needed some type of dark border to define what actually was the image. I wanted to say that you may have needed more room on the left or that it would be a nice vertical but I'm not sure what the actual boundaries are for sure. It would be nice to open up the dark areas on the underneath side of the wing but too much might make it look unreal.
