Hey tis the season huh? He musta stolen that branch off of my guys nest LOL. Nice one handed grip there and detail as well. I think I would like to see a little more room up top.
Excellent shot, I agree with the previous comments regarding composition as the bird is a little too central for me. I would also check out the highlights on the head and left underwing, and maybe just lower them a little bit.
Wonderful shot. I really like the landing pose. Especially it holding the nesting material in one talon. Exposed very well and great detail.
Well done.
Stuart, nice pose and clear view of the head. Composition....I agree that the bird needs to be more towards the left in the frame. if you have more space in orig, should be easilly doable.
