Hi Richard - no mention of exposure compensation here - judging by the look of it I am guessing this is quite a large crop and the sky has been removed after the fact, A little noise present in the darker area's would also seem to indicate a little shadow/highlight has been used - original under exposed??
Looks quite contrasty and lacking in fine feather detail - depending on camera and light conditions but would expect to see this at least +2EV - Getting things as close as possible in camera will always yield better end results.
Good HA and eye contact - would have wished for a little more separation between the head and the far wing.
Keep em coming :)

Hi Lance

0 Ev agree should have been at least +2
weirdly the sky was not removed but it does look that way!
back then I was on one shot :)
