    The light on that is stunning. A litle loss in detail on the neck whites but I am sure that is the compression tossing pixels !

    Awesome pose and detail! Terrific light. The bird seems a little tight in the frame, although I do like a tight crop. Plenty of DOF for f/4.

    Magnificent light and pose. Low angle makes this one stand out.

    If there is detail in there I would be tempted to tame the whites a bit, and I agree it feels a little tight in the frame. I do like the image. Excellent sharpness and details in the feather plumage, and I love the pose. I might eliminate the single tall light grass strand beneath the wing.

    Beautiful bird, wonderful light. great image.
    I would tone down the whites a little bit.
    On my monitor it looks a bit oversharpend.

    Love it. A bit tight. Bordering hot whites. And perhaps a bit oversharpened. But love the pose and exposure. JR
