Hi Dudley,

Like I said in a different post from this specie, I do love this bird, his eyes are amazing.
I don't have many experience en BIF, I do like the HA and the details, but IMO it looks a bit tight in the frame.

Very nicely detailed, i think there is a slight blue colour cast, I like the crop but I can see the image with a little more space around it.

Hi Dudley, good sharp detail, and a good view of the eye. Due to the wing position, your choice of comp does work, but trying a version with more space below wont harm the image.

I agree with Jon that there is a slight blue cast.

Thanks for the comments Stuart,Jon and Humberto.. I have adjusted colour balance and given space at the bottom.
