Very statuesque. Neat perch that is very complementary to your subject, and I like the wingspread. I do wish the angle wasn't as steep, and I'd prefer an unobstructed view of the talons. Borderline oversharpened as presented.

[Dave Barnes]

Interesting Image and comp but I must agree Daniel on the angle. I like the feather detail.

[Kiran Poonacha]

even with this angle still got some punch, good details and pose..

[Harshad Barve]

interesting image with good details , looks sharp to me

great pose and exposure - wish the angle of shooting was higher but it's always difficult with raptors as they choose high vantage points

Michael, Beautiful pose and very sharp details as noted. Love the perch and the soft blue BG.

[Arthur Morris]

Sharp with great underwing detail and a very good EXP. Toning down the left hand part of the perch might be an option. And yes, a shorter tree would have been quite helpful....

[Bill Jobes]

Great body and wing position, and -- what an attitude! The bird oozes confidence and personality.

Technically, the image is excellent, with fine sharpness and great shadow detail.

[Ajit Huilgol]

I, too, love the perch and the lovely wing spread and clear blue bg, but the steep angle is a little distracting.
