Welcome, Doug! I like the pose and details and wish one eye were more visible. It could go a bit darker for my taste and maybe add some space at the right side.
Great job on sharpness with this head on image! (toughest thing for a camera to do is track a subject head on (for those not aware))
I would run NR on the BG only to smooth it out...
Hey Doug, Well done. I love the wing position. Looks as if it might need a bit of cw rotation. Now stop being lazy and let's see some more of your images! Later and love, artie
