Wow, this is awesome David. great light, processing and details. Still my number one nemesis bird, especially when you consider how common they are around here.

Gorgeous. Looks a tad oversharpened.

Fantastic looking Frame and I love the tales up pose with the open Beak and the raised foot. The perch and the Beautiful background set this one off nicely. I'm headed out tomorrow morning to go shoot one of these guys that's been hanging out in a localized spot. If I could get something anywhere near as good as this I would be totally stoked. Well done David
