Great pose and sharpness Harold. Like your crop. Looks like you had a fun day.

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Great wing position and pose my friend. It sure was fun that day.

[David Stephens]

Interesting pose and great lighting. It looks like you used fill flash, but I guess not. I think that the exposure is right on. Theres something diagonal in the lower left that I'd crop out. It makes me question the orientation of the bird, but if that's out there's no conflict.

Nicely done.

Hi Harold, great wing position,light and detail. Agree on blending the branch on the lower left and I would take out the small green clump on the lower right...

[Lance Peters]

Hi Harold - preety much nailed it - IMHO - agree about the clump - like the pose and the direct eye contact.

Super!

[Terry Hann]

Hi Harold. I love this shot, it has good action. I like the way the out of focus BG doesn't cut into the bird, but gives it depth. I would probably have cropped out the bottom RH corner to remove the tree just sneaking in.

Great shot.

Agree with comments and love the different pose and look !!! Think the whites are right at the ragged edge and would clone some texture in the light parts on the legs !! ... will be back there before you know it !!

[Bob Miller]

Hi Harold...I like the eye contact and the pose caught is great! I agree with cropping suggestions mentioned!
