Shot this at a raptor center in Ohio this summer.
Nikon D300 200mm lense f11 iso 600 fill flash -2/3 Tripod mtd
Image softened a bit in the upload...sharp on my monitor.

Hey Dave,
Looks sharp on this end.....really nice pose and I like the darker BG......just enough texture to work for my tastes. Only 1 recommendation from this end.......either selectively lighten the tip of the bill a bit more......or lighten the BG near it .....so it stands out more.....this would pop the image even more. If you didn't put it in captive/HOM....you couln't tell.
