A really nice look at this cool raptor species Basri. Very nice image quality in the larger version. I might bump up the mid-tones a bit if this were mine. Not that is matters too much for this image, but with the 1Dx I might consider shooting at a bit higher ISO to allow more flexibility in the use of higher shutter speeds or in getting more DOF. In this shot with more DOF you might have gotten the entire perch rock sharp. Really nit picky on a great image, but you have a great camera capable of shooting very high quality images at much higher ISOs, so I thought I would mention it.

Beautiful perch for this guy Basri, I agree with Ron regarding a higher iso but I probably would have been at a faster shutter speed in case he took off. Nice detail and exposure here, I just wish for a bit more of a head turn.

Beautiful bird - very nice detail, good pose, bright colours and very complimentary colours in the lichen and BG.
Well-done!
