Thanks for looking!

Lovely, the light and details are great, the pose is perfect to me, the BG is excellent as wll, I would've just try to put the bird a bit higher in the frame, but as is, is nothing but amazing! Congratulations!

Nicely done Manos, congratulations. The exposer is dead on. I like the details on the bird. You have a good head angle and sharp eye. The backgroung is very pleasing. a job well done...:cool:

This is a beautiful portrait of a familiar bird. Often we ignore starlings but this image shows how amazing they are. A little bit too much room at the top for me but sharpness, BG, colour and light all spot on.

Gorgeous bird, great pose and BG.

Manos - just about perfect for me!

Lovely image - I like the eye contact, plumage detail and background.

Great light, pose and BG. I might crop a bit off the top.

Amazing light and details on this very common, but beautiful, species. The composition you choosed here is very good for a magazine cover but for web presentation I suggest to crop a little bit. Excelente exposure Manos
