Thank you very much! This was a lucky shot since I caught her stretching her wings, but it was a photo opportunity provided by the wonderful people at Hawk Quest. It wasn't captured in the wild. We were in a group, and she was sitting on a tree branch almost over my head. I was using my 70-300 lens to get in close on her face. I did a bit of processing to darken the sky and bring out her feathers. Very bright day.

Your processing is beautifully done, and the light on the face is spectacular.
