Photographed this recently at Merced National Wildlife Refuge. I had some problems with the angle of the light. I tried to correct it with using Viveza. Your critques are always welcomed. Thanks.

Definitely looks like a midday sun but despite that I like the fairly low POV and the intense look on the face.

I moved this to the avian forum, where it will get more avian specific views! I hope you understand.

I think the lighting turned out ok! I really like the pose & the back lighting!
