Troy, it appears you had some tough lighting to deal with. Sharpness seems good but I think the image is a bit tight. It's unfortunate that one feather overlapped with the beak. JR
I like this very unusual pose with the intense look; must be how the orchestra sees the conductor:) Thanks for posting this one, Troy.
it's a great shot Troy

Seperating the bill from the primary is a great improvement. I agree this is a bit of a quirky pose. I guess it's due to the angle.
I like the angled fight pose. Were you shooting continuous - if so, hopefully you have a few with a full wingspread
loved the pose captured troy:)
The unusual pose makes this, the light was not with you but it does not worry me.
Love the posture and eye contact! personally I would prefer a slighly wider crop, but it is only personal preference.
