H Jon,
Very interesting bird for me with red eyes. Well composed and good colors. TFS.

Hi Jon
great compo and lovely colours
Imho Sharpness is a problem, the whole bird looks soft and more or less unsharp, the yellowish line above the head is probably due to overuse of USM. The solution would probably be to have a smaller crop showing the bird in its natural habitat.
