    Hey Octavio, Another beauty. Wonderful behavior, COMP, and BKGR. Love the agled perch. I think that adding some canvas above would balance it better. Only the sharpness is questionable....

    Thanks for the comments Arthur. I agree about the sharpness, it is a little bit "soft". This is quite an old image but I think the shutter speed was on the slow side, and also I could have used a bit more USM in post. This is nearly full frame.

    I love the comp as it is hard to get a good balance with such a long tail, as noted
    the perch is working here. Maybe some sharpness was lost in the reduction, definitely worth
    a revisit to the full size

    Lovely looking species, and like the long tail. The softer colour in the BG works well. Comp wise, I would maybe add a bit to the right. BTW, his catch a bonus.

    Bom Dia Octavio,
    Beautiful bird and very nice background. I agree with the previous comments, it is a little tight in the frame.
    I will be down there next month, looking forward to see some new species.
