Great pose, setting and BG. I would sharpen the bird some more.

[Loukie Viljoen]

I sharpened this once, + USMask, is it any better, I think it looks oversharpened

[Axel Hildebrandt]

The head looks much better but the additional sharpening increased the underwing noise a bit.

Outstanding capture Loukie and superb color and detail as well as composition. The eye is over the top for me. Love it.
