Hello,

Meanwhile, there are 15.

Striking image of this beauty, Holger.

Nice pose and water color, maybe 1/3 too dark.

Since you will get another chance, I am sure you can get one with a lighter exposure.
Nice angle and a beautiful subject.

Pose and sharpness looks good. The image looks a little too dark on my monitor.

Sweet light. The head is just glowing in this light. Agree that the bird is on the darker side and I find it a tad tight on the right side.
