    Wow, thats an exotic to me. I am sure people will comment on the lack of space at lower left, but you nailed the rest of it. Great image.

    Big Warm Welcome Abdul !!!!!!

    Love that bird and got the best pose with the raised head feathers. Great low angle and clean bg Would only wish for more room at the bottom and for the tail !!! When we can see the feet we still like to leave some room for the virtual feet and a bit more !!! Sweet image looking forward to more !!!

    Great pose. Beautiful detail Agree w comments about crop. I find the BG a little distracting wonder about toning it down a little. Welcome to BPN great place to learn.

    Great welcome and thanks for sharing this "Pupunec" (in Macedonian)
    One of the birds of my childhood. Love the bird, the pose is just perfect,
    tight on bottom and left, tone down the BG too. Otherwise it is very nice and pleasing image.
    I like it very much.

    Welcome to BPN. Great first post. Fantastic position, sharpness, low angle; I'd also tone down the BG a touch and agree with the cropping suggestions. Keep them coming.

    Welcome Abdul. This is the best place for you to be mate. :)

    Lovely species and nice and sharp. Agreed about more space. The BG is very bright, overpowering the bird. WHat I find strange is that the eye has a catchlight yet the rest of the bird and foreground appears to be in the shade. Still a very nice effort and very well done. Looking forward to seeing more. :)

    Welcome to BPN, Abdulghani! Very nice first post, I particularly like the sharpness, eye contact, complementing BG and open bill. Tightness has been mentioned. Keep them coming!

    Welcome Abdul,

    Great opening image. Minor issue covered already. Exposure and detail on the face is excellent.

    Cheers
