Nicely done Jeff,
I like the fine feather details, a good head angle and sharp eye...would recommend on taking 1/4 from the top of the frame...:cool:

Jeff, Nice one!! Great HA and feather detail! Like the raised foot!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Jeff - improving my friend :) Nice HA - good eye contact and sharp details - agree with gus on cropping some from the top.

keep them coming :)

[Ilija Dukovski]

Great sharpness, detail, great contrast of the bird against the dark BG.
Agree with cropping suggestions above.

Cheers, Ilija

Great sharpness and colours Jeff. Would take some off the top. If both legs were still it would have made it even better. Dark BG compliments your light bird.
