Lovely colours to the bird Manos, the scruffy bit near the wing catches my eye a little too much. Is the focus point slightly in front of the bird ???

Lovely light, pose, and exposure. Maybe a touch more contrast.

[Stu Bowie]

Super pose Manos, and agree, a little more contrast will make this pop. Great BG too.

[Kiran Poonacha]

One more vote for more pop, but loved the pose and Bg.. congrats..

[Raymond Barlow]

killer shot Manos., some small tweaks.. levels and sharpening only... I may have over done the sharpening.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

beautiful repost Raymond,thanks!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose, light and additional sharpening makes it even better.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Beautiful image and bird Manos. I would like to see a version between your and Raymond's.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Nice species, pose, detail and BG, I would suggest more saturation and a tad more contrast here. Congratulaitons!

[Raymond Barlow]

It is my pleasure Manos., this is a great thing about this fantastic forum, we are all here to help each other and learn., and what a treat it is for me to even open up such a great shot on my CS3., thank you.
