A very nice shot. I like the headturn, the light and the blue sky. I do believe that the shot is lacking in DOF a bit more would have been perfect. Apparent sharpness is on the breast instead of on the eye, it might help to selectively sharpen the eye a bit more.
Self portrait Akos?:eek::D
Sorry only joking.
Very nice detail, light and colour.
Could do with a tad more DOF I think?
I like the serious look in those eyes, must be thinking.
Akos, great job with the sharpness. The bird looks very contemplative. Is this the same guy you posted a while back? Not the bird's fault but the white feathers are a bit distracting oof. And maybe lighten up the eye a bit?
I reattach with toned down whites, selectively sharpened eye.

Yes, same bird. I was checking the whites myself and thought they looked bad, though they are not blown, just too bad it's a B&W species I guess. The eye is the natural color and brightness.
I think I prefer my ideal HA shot that I posted a few weeks back over this now. :)
