Well done Michael,
A good composition and capture. The color rendition is good; and you have sharp details with good eye contact...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Did really good in many ways here Michael !!! I like the sharpness and selected crop right at the leg joint. Sure wish you had a better sun angle would have made the wind feathers magical and they do look good as presented.

Could select the eye and to a little work to make it pop I like it a lot Real nice spoon Mike !!!

Very beautiful colour and details. Would have looked nice if the light was behind you to illuminate the face IMHO.

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Like the composition, crop, and placement in the frame.
Congrats,

Michael, very nice capture- agree w/ Jackie about the light. Great pose!

Hi Michael - agree with all of the above - some sharpening on the eye and beautiful.

Hi Michael,
Very lovely image - agree that a better sun angle would take it over the top.
