Wonderful image. Clear and sharp and the bird is in great shape. I wish I could see the feet even if you would have had to clone the jesses. :)

Gorgeous subject and a great image. I too would have liked to see the feet - jesses and all.

Regards,

One of the better looking captives I've seen. Nice clean image! Many captives, including falconers birds, have overgrown beaks which makes them look unnatural to me. This bird's beak looks pretty good....I would like to see the birds feet. I'm with Rob and others in that I would include them and clone out the jesses. :lol:

What a beautiful bird. Love the pose....and the colors of the setting are wonderfully complimentary!! Feet would be nice.....but to be honest.....I really didn't miss them when I first looked. I'm too interested in looking at the beautiful detail of him.
