Very nice images of these birds. I am finding them a bit dark. But, your composition is very good and pose captures are excellent.

Again dark as many of your shots are - I think you need to calibrate your monitor - but otherwise a very nice shot.

Besides the darkness, I'd like to see him not so centered. I'd trim some off the left.

Looks dark to me also, but I'm on the road and am using my laptop.

An image with good potential, Griffin!
I took the liberty to do a repost here hope you don't mind ...

Some adjustment on mid-tone using curve, add back a catchlight, slightly sharpened and crop to suit my taste.

Great shot, Griffin. The re-post is much better. Calibration is a good idea.
