a beautiful image. I like the head turn and the wing spread. I would blur or clone out the brown line intersecting the tail. lovely BG and colors,

Thanks :)

agreed on the line by the tail. I will work on it when I get back to my main machine

A Beauty. A little blur on the BG would make the bird standout a lot more.
I agree with Gail, regarding the line intersecting the tail.

I'm jealous. The Pantanal is on my short list.

Beauty of a bird here. I like how the top of both wings are visible and that deep blue. I'm not a fan of cloning stuff out, but I agree with the others on this one on that line through the tail.
