Nice calling pose in excellent light.

Love this shot with that gradient BG! I really like that open beak, head angle, light and the texture of the rock! Not sure how it will look with a bit less room on the top.

[David Salem]

Killer shot!! The light is perfect as is the shooting angle and the pose and BG are great too. I would definitely keep some of the light blue on the top but reduce it by half. Very nice frame.

Great light, great pose, and just an amazing background. You positioned yourself well to get the gradient to start above the head. If it wasn't for the gradient, I'd say take some off the top. In this case, I'd leave it all

Thanks Guys,

I wanted to show off the gradient in the blue BG.

[arash_hazeghi]

nice light, details and the open beak adds more interest. there is too much empty space on top, a tighter crop would work better here

Great shot! The light, the pose and the background are perfect. I also would maybe trim a bit from the top but not much, I love the gradient.

Subject, pose, perch, light, and BG all good. I agree there is too much space at top...you can crop away half the bright area above (and also at right to retain the ratio) without losing the effect of the gradient.

Hi Amol, tack sharp, and I like the leaning calling pose. Before reading the other comments, I felt there was too much space above.

Hello Amol,

I really love the light, compo, pose, and details here. I do agree with Dan regarding the crop.
