Very nice pose and I like the light shining through the wings. I would have liked it even better if the bird had faced you and it needs more space at the bottom for the 'virtual' feet. The BG is a bit noisy and I'm not sure what those light streaks are. Keep them coming and I like your avatar. :)
Agree with Axel's critique. The backlit wings are quite beautiful, and we can actually see the arm bone in the far wing!! Be careful with head angles ;-) Also wish for sepeartion of bill/wing.
I agree with all of the above but love the lighting in this image as well as the water droplets that add the extra detail of motion in the image. Many thanks for sharing Rick !
Good job with the EXP but framing and merged bill are problematic as are other elements noted above.
