    Great shot Miguel, love the detail and the water droplets. Nice and sharp from bill to feet!

    Excellent shot, Miguel. Nice background, eye contact and feather details.

    Excellent sharpness although it appears the focus was on the breast.
    A nicer far wing would have been great.
    Nice work though, they are not easy.

    Nice one, Miguel. Agree on the far wing, but certainly not a deal breaker. I like the background colors.

    Very nice detail, wing and head position. Good eye and background.

    It almost looks like she wants to give someone a big hug! I agree critical focus is not on the face, but nice details on the breast and feet, I also enjoy seeing the feather patterns under he wing.

    This is a fine flight image, Miguel. The far wing may not be optimal, but you have great details and colors here. I would be happy.
