Very nice. Neat plumage you caught him in and I like the perch.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Lovely light, posture and sharpness! Background is stunning

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice! Good perch, and the subdued lighting works very well. I like how the one toe not touching the perch thus creating a neat little shadow.

This image is fantastic Raul, one of your best IMO. I think that a little more room at the top would benefit the composition. the BG is superb but the horizontal light area is little bit distracting. The light, pose and sharpness is too good to be true... and the eye is really killer. Congratulations! for the good job!

This is a wonderful image Raul . I love everything about it from the composition to the excellent exposure, detail and pose. Congratulations on a beautiful image Raul !!!!

Hi Raul,

Love the head angle, light and pose. I'm using my friend's Mac and is not calibrated but I would punch the contrast.
