Beautiful capture Manos with excellent exposure and a gorgeous BG. Love the beautiful contrasting colors in this image. Many thanks for sharing.

The light is great, I love that "shadowed" light, compo looks fantastic to me and BG and details are A+
Congratulations!!!

Beautiful light Manos. The colors and the super soft light are just great. Very nice feather details also.

I would lighten the eye and lores just slightly. Otherwise I love it as is.

Love the light, sharpness, and BG. I wonder if a vertical crop would work here?

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Wow, a winner for sure Manos!
BG colors and bird pose are stunning, great job!

I like the feel of this shot Manos the variation in the bg colors and pose make the shot for me. Very Nice!

I have seen this one on your website and I really like it. Robert made a good point about adding more light to the eye and lores. Maybe you should consider a selective levels adjustment on the bird and a little bit of saturation increase. I think it would produce a better result. The light is not good, is fantastic, and the blue water of the sea is just to die for.
