    I love the detail and the colours, wonderful. My only tiny gripe is the largest freshly broken branch to the left of the perch. Was this a natural perch or one you erected?

    Sweet capture with a wonderful prey item. What is it? The bird's face is a bit on the dark side and the sharpest focus is on the wing so I sharpened the face with a contrast mask and lightened it. Pardon the sloppy work on the two branches.... I could do much better with more pixels esp. if I ever learn to use the gradient tool--the changing tones in the gray BKGR gave me fits. Lovely pose, BKGR, and a good head angle.

    Next time try to focus on the eye.

    Plenty to be proud of Tiziano! Artie's repost improves on an already excellent image.

    Original is nice, repost a improvement except the white on the shoulder. A file worth starting over from scratch with.

    I like the angle of the branch, inclusion of his prey and his scrunched down posture.

    Vibrant colours on the KF, and thats a fair size meal. Well placed in the frame, and I like Artie's repost.
