I like the wing position, underwing details and fanned tail and wish for a bit more eye contact.

Love that kind of images with the sky almost white! I agree with Axel about the eye contact/head turn.

Great plumage display accentuated by the white sky. If this were mine, I'd go completely white on the sky. Head turn has been mentioned.
Are you going to Ben Wilmore Thanksgiving week?

That was my first thought when I first saw this image!! Head turn is the only other mentionable. Colours and details look good :-)

Fabs, I am actually going to Bosque (I try to go every two years or so) and will be missing the seminar.

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I will work on making the sky white. As for the hear turn...I have not learned how to do that in Photoshop :)
