I had cut some of the tail off when I took this photo, so decided to make a portrait out of it.

Hi John,

Your crop looks pretty good. I'd like a little more DOF, but the eye and bill are nice and sharp.  There's a little bit of grain due to the crop and you could selectively reduce it with some noise reduction for the BG.  They are nice looking birds..............................Jim

Excellent detail John, and I like you crop choice.  Well done.

Nice detail and exposure. I'd consider some noise reduction on the background for the larger version.
