    Lovely exposure, sharpness, and pose. I would crop some off the right, and add some space to the left.

    Beautiful light on those feathers and lots of detail too. Love the little feet spread out and the head angle.

    Nice pose. The exopsure look spot on and nice and sharp. I agree with Fabs on the beautiful light. If you have it you might see how it looks with a bit more room to our left and perhaps a little more on the bottom. However, I do like it as presented. Thanks for sharing.

    The light is superbly illuminating the under wing. Great details too. I too would prefer a bit more room on the right and little less on the left.

    Agree with above comments exposure /details well done. Agree w suggestion for slight change of crop. Minor detail: you might clone out the tiny black spot at the tip of the left foot.:)

    Love the light, the dangling feeet, and the position and detail in the near-wing. I would ligthen the face a bit and would wish only that the far wing were raised more. BKRG tones are perfect for the bird as the browns match.

    You nailed the exposure on the underwings Dave, and pin sharp too. Super landing pose, and the EG pops from the BG very well. Well captured.
