Jose,
This is a super capture with the semi back turn pose...well done. I like the sharp details in the wings and the color rendition on your bird is very good...my only suggestion would be to tone down the hot whites on the head and the upper portions of the wings...The dark background makes your subject stand out quite nicely...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Agree with Gus in every particular. This is a wonderful shot Jose!

Hi Jose - very nice - agree with Gus and would add might try to lighten the eye a bit just to give it that bit of pop.

Keep them coming :)

I really like the high contrast in the image (where did you find black??), but I'm not a big fan of the square image... maybe that's just me... Also, the primary feather on the left wing juuuuuust barely touches that rock, and it kinda weirds me out.
Overall, I think the fantastic pose and the great sharpness of the image alone is enough to make this one a winner.
