Hi Geurt I like the gray bg and wing position Light is from the right/back making the close wing dark I think you could have compensated 2/3 or so and still kept the captured mood !!! Love those birds they sure are elegant !!!!

I agree about the +EC and would also like to see a bit more of head turn. Thanks for posting!
