Hi,

Outstanding pose, perch, crop, exposure and bg. To me the head looks ever so slightly less sharp than the back and wings.

great pose and nice details. I agree the head details appear to be lacking a bit, you can post 1024 pixels wide to show the details.

Thank you all for comments.

Absolutely beautiful Ovidiu, the red head seems to be a different shade of red to the ones we have in UK. Love the pose and DOF.
