Hi there!,

I like the details and texture of the feathers. The bird is flying away from you which is not ideal but I think you did well with the BG, details and exposure.

Technically beautiful and I love the clear view of the back feather patterns. Not too crazy about the flight angle, but I still like the overall image a lot.

Nice topside. Wish for a slight head turn towards us.
