Beautiful shot...good exposure and AF work. I like the placement of the subject as well. Catchlight has made a big difference. No merge of head and wing is another plus.
IQ is very good...but the bird can take a small round of USM, I think.
Whew, this one is too good. Plus excellent critiques by KD and Robert.
