    Well done on this, Chris. Perfect focus and well exposed whites. May be an option to select and darken the BG a bit. I like the feather detail and colour highlights from the feet, eyes and lores.

    Nicely captured, exposure is right on as far as I can see. Wish the bird gave you a bit more angle to get the left wing in the photo.

    Spot on exposure, BG, and focus. I wish the wings were fully spread back.

    Chris,
    I like this composition, eye contact and the well spread wings.

    Cheers,

    Photoshop CS2 or better has Brightness/Shadow sliders that are perfect to get rid of the almost hot here. This image can be improved by more post production and the composition is worth the effort.

    Great landing pose & movement well frozen. Pin sharp with great detail. Well done Chris!

    I like the soft light, landing pose and BG and only wish we could see more of the far wing.
