Beautiful Daniel, I love the pose of the first shot.

Beautiful shot! Looks like you were getting checked out in that first pose.

Excellent catch Daniel. I bet you wish that cable end was not in the background?

impressive first shot with the light and detail in the bird, you controlled the whites and kept some detail in the blacks; unfortunate background but perhaps you can clone it out because otherwise it is a great shot

Nice detail and exposure. I prefer the first pose and agree with others that the background might be worth editing that out.

Ditto! The first pose is very nice and the eye is in very sharp focus. Lose the cable and print it! Well done!

Both edited versions are great. Nice work, Daniel!

ding,ding,ding, We have a Winner!!!! The first one is great without the cable junction. The second is still a fine image, but I prefer the pose of the first image.
