    Looks like the darks could be brightened a bit. Otherwise I like the wing position too...quite the "V"! Funny how the tail is held horizontally here :-)

    Raul great wing position here. It gives us an idea of how powerful flyers birds can be.

    I'll echo everyone else's comments Raul. Impressive wings with a real sense of power. Like the head-on view. Thanks for posting!

    Cool pose and setting. Another vote for lightening the shadows.

    yep! shadows required to be lighten up. Took the lazy route and work with the low resolution jpeg instead of going back to the original file.
