Great shot Jack :toast: :toast:

(though it could do with a bit of brightness, via Levels)

Good clear image, which isn't always easy with them, but I'm not keen on the very central composition . Is the eye 100% in focus, or have you hit the breast feathers below the wing?

Brightness looks fine on my screen. Colours look rich, warm, and well saturated. Agree with John that the eye looks slightly less sharp than the breast feathers. Difficult to tell at this size, though.

I too think possibly just a bit brighter, and the eye does appear to be ever so slightly soft.. but a very nice shot indeed.
