    From about a year ago which was never been processed before. I am in the process of re-designing my website so it's a great opportunity to look deep into my files.

    Very strong stare on that bird,
    unusual but very intensive feel. I like it.
    BG great, sh, exp. I would probably
    only tone down the part at the top of the perch
    sticking out. Bit too bright and takes attention.

    Pretty cool, I like the pose, sharpness, eye contact and BG, the blood on the talons adds to it. If anything, I might tone down the brightness of the legs a bit.

    Them piercing red eyes at that head angle gets top marks for this shot Ofer. If it were mine I would have given it just a little bit more space all round.

    I like this one as posted Ofer except for one little thing...overall very impressive!

    That one little thing is that I am bothered by the perch being seemingly thinner at the very bottom, and for that reason I would crop a tiny sliver down there just to hide that small green indent on the perch along bottom edge.
