Cropped for composition and adjusted levels, saturation, sharpening.

The colors look nice and I like the slight wing blur to show motion. The detail looks good to my eyes, but always hard to tell with the size limitations...at least for my eyes...nice work.

You caught a nice pose.

How serious was the crop?

Antonio:

Very good pose with display of flared wings and tail.
There is a fair amount of noise throughtout the image. With this camera, I would guess that the image, and esp. the bird was underexposed a bit, and had to be brought up in post.

The BG noise can easily be handled, but the noise in the bird will cause some detail loss to remove.

Cheers

Nice color and BG. I woulds crop a little off the left and even a smidge off the bottom.
