    Welcome to BPN, Tom and great first post! I like the details, composition and BG. It looks a bit flat on my monitor. I increased the saturation and changed the black point. Keep them coming!

    Hey Tom, red carpet welcome to BPN :)

    That is one grand entrance you are making. Great subject with good composition. It does look a little dark on my monitor and a slighter head turn towards you would have put it over the top.

    looking forward to more!

    Welcome! This is a GREAT first post :) I like Axels re-post. I would also like to see the bird a bit less centered in the frame. Easy to do in this case. Just take a bit off the left and add some on the right.

    Big welcome to BPN. You will feel right at home here. I was thinking it was bit dark, even for me. Re-post is better. Keep posting your fine work.

    Hello Tom,

    Welcome to BPN!

    Great post for a first picture on the forum! You got a great POV (point of view) and managed well the exposition... Great recommendations from others and I like very much Axel's workshop...
