Superb! Perfect angle and really crisp. Really stands out well against that blue sky. On the larger version, I wonder if you've maybe overdone the sharpening a little, especially round the face.

Cracking shot and pose. Perhaps the file size is too small in the large version?

Great shot Pete.
For posting a larger version, I do a separate version, rather than just increasing the size of the 720px version. For USM, at 1200px, I use 100% at radius of 0.2 between 3 and 5 times.

Hi Pete - super angle that shows that feather detail fantastically on the smaller version - not sure if the larger one is a reprocess of the original as its lost some detail which is a shame....

Looks very nice and I like the angle / positioning...agree with comments reference the larger version. Dust spot to left of frame near right wing tip.

Thanks for the comments much appreciated.
With the larger version I just resized the jpeg which in fact had originally been processed at 850 longest side which may account for the problems.
I have reprocessed specifically for the larger size but cant work out how to repost the larger one.
the first one was sharpened using usm similar to Oscars settings but I am trying to get used to NIK sharpener pro and the new larger version is sharpened with nik.
I got the dust spot on the larger version.
Thanks to all who commented, much appreciated.

Please excuse the last comments from Dave Courtenay they were from me. He used my laptop and obviously logged in from it.
