    Mike:

    The soft clouds combine with the good light and sharpness to make a pleasing image.
    The head doesn't show a lot of detail, but doesn't look blown. Love the bill.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Beautiful light, wing spread, head turn and the background. White on the head appears a little hot, causing it to loose details.
