I know the head/wing merge is a problem, and there isn't a whole lot of detail, but the lighting and viewpoint seemed unusual. Image is full frame, so cropping suggestions would be helpful.
Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Hi Bill, Agree with you self evaluation however I think its a pleasing image. I might crop a bit off the top and bottom.(right above your name)

[Dave Phillips]

like this one a lot Bill.
How about a white balance and Dave's suggested crop?

Bill, I like the image. It has a very nice feel to it. I think Dave's repost looks great. Well done.

Very nice pose and feel, Bill, and good tweaks by Dave. Personally I would like to see a little more sharpness on the bird.
