D2X w 70-200/2.8 and 17x. f7.1@1/250 sec, iso 500, EC -1/3. Thanks for looking, Rick

Great exposure and nice sharpness and feather detail. Perch is a little big for him and I wished the BG was a bit more blurred but it does show the environment. All in all a good image.

Great looking bird.
My only suggestions would be to get a slimmer perch and one that does not show broken/light areas, also to lighten the eye a bit. Head angle seems great as is the alert pose. Is this a juvi?

[Rick Moran]

Yes it's a juvi

Beautiful colors, sharp too. I would clone out the empty patch above crown and sharpen a bit more. Very nice. TFS
