Probably I will be arrested by HAP but I like wing stretch :)

20 lashes from the HAP :) :)

Great EXP and light, and the two toned BG is beautiful!

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great pose, and exposure, as Fabs said the BG is perfect, I would've loved a better head turn, but it is very nice as it is. Congratulaitons!

[Nagesh Mula]

A very good shot.
I only wish a little more head turn would have made this pic a Classic.

[Jasper Doest]

Excellent timing and shooting angle here. You nailed the exposure and my only concern is that the bird is looking away from the camera...

[Arthur Morris]

Hey Marko, This is quite lovely. The light is great and you have a decent view of the bird's head. Had the bird not been angled away from you we would not have been treated to the lovely dorsal view of the far wing. Way to go.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Great angle,light and timing!!!

One leg pose and the stretch wings with that excellent background and the ground level shot - An image to admire.

[Juan Aragonés]

Not the better head turn but the low angle, light and pose makes this photo in my opinion.
