I like it a lot Pepe, Vale !!! Great low angle, soft light and very sharp !!! Beautiful bird, first view for me !!! About the only thing you could wish for is a smoother ground around the bird !!! Do love it as presented !!!
Welcome Pepe. This is a lovely bird and a lovely image. You might lighten the face a bit and elect to get rid of the two black spots on the mud and the faint blackish A shaped thing about two inches in front of and below the bird. A perfect head angle for the body position and wonderful light. Plus what Alfred said. I can't wait to see some more.
