    Hi. I like the detail in the outstretched wing and the eye stands out nicely. It is a shame that the rear wings protrudes where it does.

    Always love seeing these guys, Danie. I agree with Amy on the rear wing position...might back down on sharpening here just a teeny bit...

    Thanx Amy and Morkel for commenting. It does look oversharpened now that you mention it, will try hand fix it.

    Danie:


    Good comments from Amy and Morkel. Yes to oversharpened, seeing some halos. I would also loosen the crop a bit top and bottom, and maybe a smidge on the left depending on how it looks with more above and below.

    Cheers

    Hi Randy, thank you for the comment.

    I've loosen the crop with less sharpening. Hope it looks better.
