Thought I would post a portrait shot of a juvenile Bateleur Eagle called "Goose" again taken at the Hawk Conservancy last July. Light was filtering through the leaves of trees near to his enclosure.

I really like the detail and the "in your face" approach. Beautiful colors and oh, so sharp. I'm probably in a minority here but I might have a nit with how bright the patch of light is on the feathers......perhaps tone it down a little?
Thanks to everyone for their positive comments, on toning down the light patch would this best be done with the burn tool or maybe a selection and using curves or levels. My lack of Photoshop Skills is legend :) but i am here to learn so if anyone can advise on this particular issue it would be appreciated.

Did you shoot this as a RAW image? I highlighted the area and just tried to burn, along wiith a couple of other things and I could darken but the color was a gray rather than the beautiful rust color. This might be best worked with in RAW. I'll check with some others that have more skill in this.
