Really like the diagonal comp Troy. And I like the S shape on the back of his head. As usual, it's a great image.

I like the bird very much as mentioned above but is not so keen on the background. If it were mine I would blur and ligthen the background a little bit.

BG is like that through at the location. :) I love it very much.

Hi Troy, nice capture and crop to get the diagonal comp. Well done. This one does seem a bit soft to me and I would add some saturation to the bird only. I love the background as is. Lovely. Great job on the whites in the head!
