Thanks for posting, Edward; your image is beautiful and sharp, with good catch-light in the eye. The background is minimalistic and doesn’t compete with your subject, which adds impact your image. Your crop works well with ample space towards the direction the bird is facing, thus creating a good balance in your frame. Unfortunately, you have lost some detail towards the top of the Bishop’s head. Next time drop your ISO slightly more and rather underexpose slightly without losing detail in the blacks.
