    Good sharpness and BG. I think a super-low angle would have worked better since the rock is a bit overpowering. It would have been even stronger with the sun behind you. I like your avatar, BTW. :)

    You did a relatively good job with the EXP considering the relatively poor light angle. A healthy pano crop from the top might be in order.

    Thank you very much, to all !
    I was not shure about that crop...If it is cropped in pano it will apear some kind of symmetry between the BG and the perch...Living the BG part as is (with that empty space above the bird) made me feel that the image is more balanced, since the perch is so big in the frame...I'm not saying that my crop is better than the one you have suggested, but I'm explaining to you what determined me to choose this one...I hope to get more pro and cons. regarding this crop option...
    Thank you very much!
