    Love this!! Smooth bg, great light, the eye looks perfect, and those orange legs are so interesting. I really like the textured perch and could envision including more of it in your image, if you have it as it adds interest.

    Different type of Ruddy capture. I like how everything is a big monochromatic, and then the legs and feet just pop. I like that I can see the feet. Nice perch, head turn and details. Sharp from front to back.

    Hi Michael, Great looking bird and Background. The composition feels a little tight.

    Could not be much better technically. Killer use of d-o-f. Great SH. My personal preference would be for a bit more room all around.

    A beautiful image! Exquisite color, details, BG. I personally like the tight crop. Don't touch a thing.

    Michael, you have nailed this in all aspects. Great detail and sharpness, and I like the softer light in this. Well done.

    What an awesome shot! Techs look spot on to me and I love the 3D effect. I felt it needs some more room at the right to balance the composition. Would love to hear your feedback.
