Jason, If I were you, I would be very proud of this shot. Your crop is nice, the background is pleasing, and the bird is gorgeous.Raptors are not easy to capture in the wild. Based on what I can see here, I also think that you sharpened appropiately. The only criticism that I could make is that the birds eyes look a little unantural, if you adjusted or recolored the eyes, then perhaps you could tone them down just a little. If this is the birds natural look, then leave the eyesalone. If your so inclined, put this shot in a dark frame and hang it on a white wall and you will have a very nice addition to your home's decor.


Nice work,





Bob
