Hi Werner:
A big welcome to BPN! Lovely image to start out with.
Great flared landing pose, good eye contact, soft background, soft directional light.
A bit more room top and bottom would give him a bit more space, so he doesn't look crowded.
The whites on the forehead on the lighted side seem a bit overexposed.
Be sure to include your camera settings, such as f/stop, shutter speed, etc.
Cheers. Look forward to more images.

Hi Werner, a big welcome from me too. What a great incoming pose and well timed to get this pre - touch down. Good direct eye contact, and the colours look good apart from a touch of over exposure on the head. I agree with Randy on having more space top and bottom. Great clean BG too.
Hello Werner, welcome to BPN. Great first image. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Talk about knocking your socks off. Incredibly sharp with a great pose. Killer colors. Definitely could use more room all around. Can you post the full frame original capture?
Processing is just a bit aggressive....

Thank you, yes you are right. More space around would be better :-) Here is the full frame out of box.
Thank you for your answers. Yes you are right, more space around the image would have been better. Is that right, I can upload one image per week?
Werner
Hi Werner, Thanks for posting the full frame. IQ is incredible. There are many crops that would work with this spectacular image. Anything from a bit wider to the full frame would work for me. You have to wait a week to post a new image but to post an educationally-related image as you did here you do not have to wait. Members can post an image every day.
I for one would love to see more of your work.
