love the intense incoming flight and the display of the habitat. Too bad the IQ isn't there, the details looks coarse and crunchy, most likely due to soft focus

I love the flight pose, the fanned out tail and prominent primaries, the light is nice and the colours are intense.

I like the pose and wing position. Nice angle in the frame. I don't know this bird so can't comment on the colours.

I like the fanned tail, wing tips, eye contact and setting. Nice image Gerald.

Hi，

Thanks all of you for the comments. On the original the IQ has no softness issue. I guess it is due to the fact that I have uploaded this picture from my phone and resized it to send it to the forum.

Hi Gerald, I too love the pose and the fanned tail. As presented image quality is poor and the yellows are grossly over-saturated. We can only judge your work by what we see on the screen. It would be great if you could prepare a quality JPEG and repost that here. a

Ditto Artie
you can always repost the image if this post went wrong for some reason.
