Hi Gabi,

A very handsome bird I've never seen. Very glad to see him. :)

Perhaps a bit too much contrast here, and/or somewhat over-exposed whites in bright afternoon sunlight?
Nice perch, background, and pretty good sharpness but some jaggies are visible on the sunlit side.

Did he give you any other poses?

Kenn

Hello Gabi,
I really like the pose, background, and perch of this shot. I agree with Ken on the sharpness...may be overdone a bit.

Thanks a lot for the comments. I will be careful with the sharp tool in the future. :)
