Very cool pose, eye contact. I would sharpen the bird some more.

Simply awesome Jay. Incredible flight pose and excellent exposure and detail. Very striking BG and all I can say is congratulations on a beautiful capture. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Jay! Awesome pose! I'd like to see another round of sharpening too. Thanks for posting!

This is very nice but it needs more sharpening!

[Jay Tan]

Thanks all for the comments! Have sharpen up the bird abit. :)

Sweet wing position, head position, and bird. The sharpening issue has been covered. I think you went a little too far blurring the bg. It looks a bit unnatural to me.

The repost looks better Jay! From a learning standpoint, it would be beneficial to forum members if you would post your edited version as a separate post in the thread. That way people can see the before and after version. Thanks!

Re-post works much, much better!
