    I like the eye contact and underwing details, the color of the sky looks a bit odd, maybe desaturating it a few points would help.

    Sky color is too intense and there are artifacts occurring under the bird and urc. I don't like the flat wings as it makes the whole bird look flat. Nice detail.

    Nice detail and eye contact. The sky color looks a little too saturated on my monitor. You can post up to 1024 pixels, and I would crop in a little tighter on the bird. A more dynamic wing position would have been an improvement.

    Love the pose, COMP, and crop. Yes to funky (too CYAN) sky color and the bird is a bit too SAT. And yes to the arifacting.

    I agree about this been a good looking raptor. But the sky needs some work IMO.
