Nice pleasant capture with good feather detail.
The composition might be better if you reduce some of the negative space at the top.
Beautiful capture.
Thanks for posting,
Lynn

Beautiful shot, I agree with a bit of cropping but I love the habitat.

A very neat looking photo and I really like it. It is an engaging pose and the inclusion of the rocky/grassy habitat is excellent. I would also look at the suggested crop and try a bit more sharpening on the bird.
Great bg.

Hi Christopher, a different pose to the norm and it works, and you have exposed this fellow very well. I like the eye level perspective, good BG, and agree on taking a bit off the top. Im seeing quite a bit of noise on the near wing and belly.

thanks for your comments,agree on on the bird being a bit noisey,but when I had a go in photoshop,I lost some detail in the feathers,I will have to try again.thanks.
