Hi Tom
Great incoming action, like the birds pose and great detail in both the white and black feathers. I would consider cloning out the top as it distracts IMO but many will disagree TFS![]()

great pose and soft light, TFS

Great shot I like it as is, maybe consider a tad more sharpening on the head and body?
What a funny looking bird. I love the two-toned background. Exposure & sharpness are very good. I feel though it is too centered with too much space on the right and not enough on the left. Content-Aware-Scale will do its magic very well on this image. JR
Lovely pose, nice and sharp on the head.
