Hi Andy,

This is honestly one of the best WTE shots I have ever seen. Every thing about it is spot on. The feather detail is stunning, and you could not have got a better BG.

One of your best shots you have posted on here Andy, Excellent.

Great work, thanks for sharing.

Regards

Rob

Fab shot, I don't think you could improve it at all. That awesome beak really stands out and I like the feathers warming the talons :smile:
Posted by Brian Davis on March 6, 2009 at 3:37 PM
This is a fantastic shot. I would happily believe it had been taken with a tame bird in a studio, the quality, to me,is just fantastic, this is what I aspire to.

I echo Brian's comments above, just a stunning image and one I keep coming back to for another look.

One of your best mate! :toast: :toast: :toast:
