I love the light and the pose and the composition. The ice is the perfect reflector to get that under-wing detail. I like the exposure you chose and the detail in the ice perch.
My only minor nit is I wish there wasn't that "halo" of ice around his head. Could you have gotten lower? I would also clone out the bit of brown in LUC.
All in all a great shot,
Gail

Artie:
Sounds like some serious fun is going on!
This pose really shows how massive this fellow is, with heavy wings and thick torso, sharp, nice fill off snow,great display of talons, well exposed.
The halo doesn't bug me because of where he is (ice) but I do agree about the brown area LUC. That color seems out of place in the sea of whites and grays.
Cheers

Stunning image! Excellent exposure control and what a pose!!! The ice behind the head doesn't bother me. I see the brown area on the top left and it looks like there are some cloning marks. Nothing major though.

THe pose is wonderful, shows off his (or her?) power. I like it as is.

Love that pose and colors and exp look spot on. My favorite part here is that it looks as though this raptor has snow on his wings and it works so well against that setting. I find the brown strip Detracts from an otherwise super capture.

Gorgeous pose and light. Super HA and great display of claws on the ice. White behind the head provides nice contrast with the bkgd. I don't mind the brown patch in the ULC as it is part of the habitat and soft enough not to be distracting. Ideally would like a bit more space around, but obviously this was the most appropriate crop.

Great details in both dark and white. Great pose and the ice perch and background are excellent. All in all the bird really pops.

Hi Artie, great pose with the outspread wings, and you have exposed this so well. The overall detail shows up nicely, sharp, and gotta love that ice perch. Cool BG too. ( no pun intended

Now that I have actually seen this on the big screen rather than my iPhone, I have to say the ULC doesn't distract that way it did on the smaller version. Wouldn't mind just a tad more space though. Just love that perch and the visible talons.

Great image Arthur! I like the pose, perch, IQ and setting.
