Nice shot. Like the open wings and spread out tail. Sharp, nice exposure, good detail in the dark areas. Would love to see one of these.

That is a super beautiful pose you captured! I wonder if it could use a little less of the stick...maybe a slight crop off the bottom?

I love that pose though I'm not sure about the comp, but given that this is 60% of FF perhaps your choices were limited. There's not too much "stick" for me, given this comp.

Love the pose of the bird and the perch. There is too much "dead" space on the right for my taste, but given this is alread down to 60% of FF I don't see much else to do. I still might take a bit off of the right and see if the quality holds up if this were mine.

Wow, what a wonderful pose and head turn. I also would consider taking some off the right and seeing if the image quality holds up, definitely a keeper either way, well done.
