Good details in the blacks and white, with a lovely pose. I think this looks very elegant:)

I like the pose, head angle, and comp, Fabs. It looks like a gust of wind hit the bird from behind and adds interest to the image, IMO. Nice job holding detail in both the blacks and whites. Well done.

Fabs:

I agree with Jackie and Steve. A very elegant bird, well exposed, sharp. Nice composition.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice expsoure, pose, ambient, colors, light and detail, the wind did add a lot to the final result! Congratulatons. Very nice Fabs!

Excellent light, exposure and detail Fabs. I like the ruffled feathers, and your comp works well. This looks like a juv.

Stunning image Fabs with wonderful action and pose in this image along with a killer BG. Great low angle and the ruffled feathers puts it over the top for me. Congrats!!!
