    Very nice image.
    Love the light and the simple composition.
    BG is of a beautiful color.
    Is that ISO correct?

    I love the comp, and the slight head tilt. Nice perch and background. I do see a bit of a cyan cast in the whites, and I'd apply a round of NR to the backgorund.

    Love the dreamy feel to this image. Super BG color, comp, and head tilt. Great detail in those white feathers. I see a bit of noise too, in the BG and maybe a slight halo on the perch?

    A bit of noise reduction in the backdrop would work nicely, but a lovely pose, love those eyes, he looks quite content sitting there

    Vivaldo - beautiful light and pose. I really like the puffy feathers here. One more round of NR on the bg should do it.

    TFS,

    Thanks for comments and suggestions I will look at doing another round of NR, and reducing the cyan slightly.

    Vivaldo,

    Presuming this is a Black Shouldered Kite (or whatever they call it nowadays), then judging by the eye colour it is a juvenile.

    It is also one of the best images I have ever seen of this bird, the whites are amazingly good

  14. Thanks Vivaldo Damilano thanked for this post

    Excellent pose perch and BG. the eyes look a bit orange compared to the species in California. it looks like a young adult ?

    Arash this is a Juv, colors are brown washed on it back, grey tail and dark shoulders. On the top of their head they have brown marking compared to adult head which is white. The african species definitely have slighty different colors compared to yours. Thanks for comments it's appreciated

    Lovely image. Great looking bird BG and perch. I think this would be better as a vertical.
