Hi Allen,

A beautiful young bird, very nicely exposed and I like the bg. A bit more sharpening and/or contrast might be beneficial, and I'd wish for just a little more room at the top if you have it.

Real nice image,

Kenn

I like the soft light, BG and eye contact and agree on more contrast, maybe saturation and a tad more sharpening. I might add a bit room top and left.

A red-tail that didn't fly away. Good for you !:)

Good pose and like the whites ! Good background, too ! Agreed with others about the sharpness, color and contrast.

excellent shot, I like the birds pose, and head angle a lot, great look at those awesome talons!

... just a couple small tweaks... added canvas to the left, small levels adjustment for contrast, and sharpened a titch.. 1.5 minutes, and the cake is baked!

ps... the bg is killer.

[Allen Sparks]

Wow Raymond your redo looks great...thanks for doing this!

[Kris Mortensen]

Agree with the above...I wonder what a smidge of CCW rotation would do?
