Taken last spring on the outskirts of Tucson. Canon 20D, 400 5.6L.

Very cool pose, details and setting. I also like the head angle and wind-blown feathers. Could you post the complete techs? I'm wondering what a wider crop would look like.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Wonderfull pose, light, comp and detail, freat color and sharpness, again, love the pose! Congratulations!

Wow, I really love that FG. The pose is good as are the details and eye contact. The raised tail gives your image a dynamic look and fills what would otherwise be dead space. If you look closely, you will notice that the bird's body makes a distorted X shape. I'm not sure, but all these diagonals may be what gives this image its appeal. Well done.

Wonderful pose and head angle I might take a little off the bottom but thats more personal taste them a nit, well done.

[Art Kornienko]

Head angle and tail angle both very nice and I agree with Don, maybe take a little off the bottom. DOF is very good as is the detail and colours. Nice job.
