Great detail in the tough whites.
Really nice pose, eye, and comp too -

Very fine image, Marc. Nice lighting: doesn't look flashed to me. No info on crop. Since you are using a Better Beamer I expect that the bird must have been a fair distance away. (I've had varying results with the beamer. Lost some shots by having the beam aimed too high. Assumed I was too close.). Anyway, you obtained great exposure: detail looks beautiful. I like the wind blown look too.

Marc, I like the ruffled pose, the bg and comp. A very good looking image.

Very appealing shot Marc. Love the BG. Bird is nice and the angled post top works for me. Comp also works IMO.

Nicely done overall Marc. I like the feathers in disarray and the slightly messy bill indicitive of the preening activity. I also like the clean background color. To me some of the whites around the neck seem a little bright and lacking in detail.

Wonderful job on this difficult contrast shot, good detail on the larger version and just a small area that is a little bright, way to go.
