    Welcome Bogdan. Very nice first post. Lovely light and the warm tones of the bird work well against the blue sky. I agree a tighter crop (removing from top and right) would strengthen the image and I would be tempted to patch out some of the twigs especially below the bird. Sharpening halos are fairly obvious - adjusting the parameters of your sharpening should resolve this. Looking forward to more Romanian images.

    Welcome Bogdan. All good comments above. Though I love the image as presented, especially the elegant COMP, I could not resist cropping and cleaning a bit.

    Hi Bogdan. Really lovely image, the BG is great and there is a nice feel to the image (good light too!). I think Artie's repost has strengthened the image a bit too, and also notice the sharpening halos. Look forward to more.

    cheers, Dean

    Thank you very much for your advices and kindness.
    I'm very new in bird and wild photography; this is not an excuse but it may be a reason why my work is still far from perfection. I completely agree with you and already corrected sharpness and composition.
    It's a real pleasure to browse this forum and see so many great photos; it's also a very good opportunity to learn.
    Thank you again!
