Is he from Mykonos? I met the great Petros when I was there Gorgeous bird !!!!

Good flight pose and sharp A better light angle would have lit the bird without shadows and suggest a slight head turn Could also extend canvas to the right given space for the bird to fight into !!!! I like it a lot bg makes the bird stand out very well !!!!

Ditto the above and the eye is very sharp. A poor light angle will kill you every time. Try to point your shadow at the bird...

later and love, artie

Light angle could save or make an image. Looking forward to more :)
