Greetings from the Critique Club

Hello Ja-9! You had a fine opportunity to get close to one of these beautiful creatures. They are so light and delicate, you wouldn't know they have the swiftness and ability to hunt that they are known for.

Lovely proportions on this guy, but as your comments say, post-processing was your downfall on this one. Definition of his beautiful face feathers was lost and the speckles on his crown and breast became indistinct.

Still, because the bird and the pose were so dramatic, you received a good score for this interesting image.

Best regards,

Alice
