Nice wing position and a good look at the eye, Peter. To my eye, this one seems just a bit soft.

Good pose. I agree with Dennis on the softness, but it probably could be cured with a bit more sharpening.

Hi
Thanks for the comments. The softness has more to due with the crop. With only 40% of the frame left, I didn't have much left to work with.
