Nicley done Saundie. I like the pose and the bird being on the pinnacle of the rocky perch which has interest on its own. We don’t have a great look at the eye but the pose makes up for that. Interesting BG that enhances rather than compete.
You caught a contemplative appearing pose. The contrasting blacks and whites seem to be handled well. The setting speaks well to the bird’s environment.
I really like this one Saundie. You did a great job handling those bright whites while also getting some detail out of those black blacks. I like the colors in the face, and the nice pose, on the nice mound of rock.
