Great expression. It could be the re-sizing, but the neck appears to be a little soft. I'm not scoring down for that though. Great capture!

Interesting subject, but an awkward angle that doesn't really do the bird justice.

Comment by srbrubaker:
A large bird such as this needs a lot of room to stretch out; nevertheless, I wonder whether the shot might be better framed with some of the left cropped. I would be tempeted to apply a bit more unsharp mask to get strengthen the textural contrast between the foreground and background. The photo has much to commend it, but to me it feels very unfinished.

excellent work! this is one of those shots that are so easy to take for granted, until you try to do it yourself. the composition is fantastic and the capture is priceless. i really hope this isn't overlooked, and that others will take the time to appreciate this. good luck!

Interesting angle on this bird. Must have been hard to get! Anyhow, good one. 10
