I really like this. The rock and the bird are beautiful, and I love that you can see right inside its beak/throat.

I definitely like the pose and the open beak. For my taste, the contrast could be toned down considerably.

I really like the calling pose and the setting here Michael. I think ideally the head wouldn't have merged with the back wing but not much you could have done about that. Some of the whites near the right shoulder look like they could be hot. :toast:
