Clean bg, and good sharpness. Light angle isn't the best and wing overlap with head is unfortunate. They just don't always give us what we want :(

Hi Humberto. I like the idea of this image; landing bird against a beige BG. Whites look properly exposed but I would still tone them down. The side lighting creates a few hotspots that draw my eye, and unfortunately casts a shadow over the face. I would have liked a frame with the wings extended backwards.

Agree with the excellent critiue by Doug.

I like the space in this one a lot. Bg is terrific. Your placement of the subject in the frame is perfect here.

I like the unusual pose, the bg and the detail in the feet.

Thanks for the comments, I understand your critics and must agree with them, but I also must say that in this situations I didn't use flash, because with flash all the birds in the area would fly away.
