All comments appreciated.

Akos:

A cutie for sure. Nice HA, sharpness and detail. I like the drop and that I can see the iris so well.

Did you need to do any work on the iris to bring it up?

I might consider a crop up from the bottom, perhaps 40-50% of the free space, and consider a smidge more space on the right. I am quite a fan of pano crops for this type of subject.

thanks!

Akos:

How old do you think this cynet is? I posted one before, which I estimated to be 4 wks old. It had already started to darken its face and iris at that point. I love the texture on the adults, unique feathers.

Akos nice sharp image here and I like the eye details and the water drop at the end of the bill.

Thanks for looking guys,
Randy, I did lighten the eye a little, though I have no idea re: age. :( I guess close to three or so weeks. One of its siblings already had a lot of dark tones in the facial plumage.

To tone down the bright areas might help a lot this wonderfull image. Nice light, species, textures and detail.
Congraulation.
