Boy Harold, like Alfred said Sunday, this was one ugly bird. Only thing I don't like is bg is too busy.
ps. and also how ugly the bird is.
Regards.

Mr. Harold,
Love this image, composition is good details are sharp, background is ok, shows the bird's habitat...:)

Congrats...:D

Really Nice exposure. Interesting angle on the guy as well, yea rough night:) Super detail!

The BG is a bit busy but only two things rather bug me, a bit of blurred grass running up to his beak and a piece running out the top of his head. I'd probably remove them...

Did great Harold Good reproduction on the whites and the right compensation for the time of day !!!!
