    A fine bird image Bert, well done. :)
    The viewfinder is my guidance.

    Great to get a bird coming at you so tack sharp - very dramatic. In fact for me, everything on the bird is so sharp that the oof parts of the left wing seem to stand out more than I'd like.
    Love the muscles at the shoulders.
    Cheers

    Great pose, eye contact, and sharpness. IMO it looks the whites were overexposed and then darkened, as it is there are still some patches with no detail. The action and timing are excellent.

    Bert:

    Overall very pleasing, with the points that Aidan made about the whites evident on my monitor as well.
    The angle of the light helped here compared with some of your previous shots.
    Nice BG.

    Cheers
