Wow I really like this. Great detail of a fascinating species. I'd like to see a bit more room all around, but it's terrific as presented. Does the eye need more sharpening? Hard to tell... Sharpness is great everywhere else. Top marks!
Well timed to capture the turn back pose Ken. Great control on the exposure, and I like how the tail follows the perch. I would selectively sharpen around the neck, head and beak.
The composition of this image works very well. The diagonals of the perch and beak work well together. The perch seems bright to me. Toning it down would help the image in my opinion.
I like the composition and the fantastic sharpness of the bird with such a great pose. The shooting angle and light angle are not the best in my opinion and I think that some fill flash would be great :-)
