I like the light. Magnificent photo. Very minor, I wish the foot wasn't washed out.

Gorgeous light, perch and bg, Keith and a very nice head turn. An excellent portrait of an immature, and the light in the eye really helps make it pop.

Very sharp with great IQ. Really shows the feather detail well. I also like the overall color palette on this shot and also the pose. Very nice.
