Layton:

Very nice pose. Just enough bank towards us to allow a good view of the head. Although the bird is angling away, he is looking back nicely.

The sky is a bit oversaturated for my tastes. The effects of the large crop are noticeable because of the softness in the details.

I might be tempted to go with a slightly looser crop all the way around.

Perhaps another round of selective sharpening on the eye.

Thanks

Nice exposure Layton, and I like the wing positioning a lot.

Agree w/ Randy's advice.

Love the pose and COMP but with the large crop there is lots of artifacting when you take a close look as I did for the repost. Worked on all of Randy's problems. Also took some yellow out of the whites.
