Absolutely gorgeous raptor and love the flight pose! EXP looks good. Unfortunately, you seem to have quite a bit of dark "shadows" outside of the upper wing and tail.

Editing this b/c not sure if the halos I am seeing might be from my monitor.

Hi Marina, thanks for posting

Pushing the IQ methinks

had a go at the tail area but its difficult because I am unable to enlarge further to work on it
one things for sure your eyesight is 20/20 lol

this any better?

Loverly pose and bird. I like the high key look. How big a crop? Image quality is suspect at best with little fine detail....

Not a large crop Artie, problem was underexposed, classic!
