Love the spread wings and sharpness. You did good considering the position of available light. BG is just lovely. I'd brighten the eye a little and maybe crop some from the bottom. Congrats

great exposure in the light available and like the wingspread and plumage detail. BG to die for - Giant's Castle??
another vote for some off the bottom

Several have commented on the sharpness, I'd like to add excellent DOF control. Note the detail in the feet. Wish I'd taken this image. Add my vote for bottom crop. You nailed BG on this.

Nice shot Michael. Like it. Very well done and can only suggest a slight bottom crop to enhance it further.

I like the pose, eye contact, underwing details and particularly the BG. I would tone down the highlights a bit more. Where did you make this image?
