    Chris this really is a super shot, the pose and composition and background look very good indeed, I like the exposure too.
    I have some slight reservation over the edge of the rock face just to the left of the bird (the brown area moving to the grey) not sure if there has been some cloning there? My apologies if not. I would consider just a little more sharpening to region of the bird's head. I think this would make a really good print.

    One fine shot. Just love the bit of green on the bottom. Gives a base to this wonderful image.

    Great pose and close up.
    I agree on a bit more sharpening for the bird and I think a bit of NR on the FG tree trunk would improve it.

    Christopher, do you have extra around this image? I think some stronger crops might be available if so. I could see less on the left, a bit more on the bottom, and more on the right for the bird to look in to. Yes, more sharpening on the head. LOVE the image, full of character with the fluffy head and calling pose.

    I agree having placed the subject more to the left would have made a stronger composition (plus it would have hidden the ugly dark spot at left edge). Super on all other counts, I like the fresh greenery at bottom!

    Cool bird and great exposure. I agree with Dan C on comp, and would try a bit more sharpening on the entire bird. Thanks for sharing these Peregines Chris!
