Hi Don -IMHO Maybe the point of focus was not on the head/eye area - as it looks a little softer than the back area.
Exposure looks pretty good and some nice details in those whites.
Not sure about the crop - the missing foot does give it a funny feel - IMHO.
Will be interesting to see what others think :)

[Dave Leroy]

I don't mind the missing foot as much as where the crop is on top. If mine I might crop tighter on top and some from right as well.

Nicely exposed and I like the interesting pose.

pano crop! a lot off the top and a little off the bottom. that's how i would handle this situation, but i would sure like to have seen a better head angle. i love the light on this bird. really nice. and the detail in the whites look good too!

[Dave Mills]

Hi Don, Agree regarding HA. Nice light with good detail. I've played with the image and find the cut leg is bothersome to me with any comp I can come up with. Would probably have liked the whole foot and either cropped the top or shown it all. Sounds conventional but thats what most appealing to me....

[Richard Waas]

Hi don, great exposure and detail. I agree with Harold on the pano crop and the HA. Keep 'em coming......

[Ann Fiske]

Hi Don,
I like it. I'd think with the pano crop it should qualify for the Foot motif?:)
