This could possibly be one of your best photos ever, or is it the editing that makes it pop, whatever the case it is truly sensational!

Very well done. An elegant image, It invokes a serene mood and feeling. I might have cropped off the top 10-20% to focus in on the bird more and get the eye on the thirds.

This is the epitome of a photo that never stops feeling distinctly like a photo yet simultaneously works at the level of a Rembrandt painting. One of my top three this challenge.
