Hi Milt - Lots to like here - you have captured the sheen of the feathers nicely - love the huge legs, really does give you a sense of scale.
Good HA and eye contact, exposure looks good.
Just a little tight all around for my personal tastes.
Good show :)

Hi Milt,
I like the image and capture...you have fine sharp details with good color rendition...I too would like to see more room all the way around and might eliminate the double catch light...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with suggestions and wold add going at it with a wider aperture, don't want to bring the bg into play any more than you have to.... great finding one in the open !!

[Mark Adkins]

Agree with above, especially Alfred. BG is distracting but colors, pose and detail are great.
