Hi Miroslav, great calling pose with the open beak and visible tongue. Well exposed on both whites and blacks, and I like the raised crest. Well placed in the frame too. I see a halo running up the left hand side of the head and crest, possibly from over sharpening.

Yes you are right it's visible. I have to correct the mask and blur at this place, I guess the sharpening is in the limits. Thanks & cheers! Miro
