Perfect! The movement of the bird in this type of capture raises the level over the standard portrait for me.

Beautiful species Axel!

Very nice pattern of tonalities, especially on breast and face. I find the cath light a bit fake, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, Juan! I didn't change the catchlight, it is normal northern winter sunlight.

Ya killing me :(
They get better and better. This one is so sharp and such colors against the snow!

I like the walking pose and detail.
