    Really awesome image Mike! At first I was a bit hesitant of the bright white BG, but I figured that is how it is and best leave it. Showing this gorgeous, razor sharp and well-defined bird in its habitat is a huge plus. :)

    It is a little busy but nothing seems distracting enough to take away from the bird; maybe blur some of the sharper pine needles...
    It is a great image, composition works really well. I wish it was mine.

    Great to have him at eye level, details, pose and setting look good, too. Maybe a slight contrast boost?
