Interesting subject with a good bg, also like the lighting. Just lacks a little contrast to me but that is easily fixed.

great portrait Loukie! I agree, some extra contrast and saturation will make it pop a lot more. exposure and details are superb...

[Fabs Forns]

Very interesting bird, Loukie. I wonder if the little golf ball like in the chest is to keep food, the same as our Caracaras here.

[Loukie Viljoen]

Yes Fabs, it = his crop.

Super pose, and I actually like this as is. Great BG. I find the foliage LRC a bit distracting.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose, setting and BG. I've never noticed those two bare spots. Maybe a bit more room top and bottom?

Awesome image. The lights and sharpness are very nice.
