    very nice first post. I hope you keep such great work coming. :) Lovely bird and setting with nice complementary colors. I like how the BKGR dissolves into the sky.

    You could have used a bit of fill flash here to make the bird pop out a bit more and avoid that shadow on the breast. Please do not take this as critic, was just my impression when I saw the picture.

    Welcome from another beginner! That's a lovely shot and I like the subtle tones so evocative of desert, the sharpness and low angle. I wonder does the image need a little CW rotation?

    Hi Amir, red carpet welcome to BPN, I hope we can help you improve your skills and that you will feel right at home!
    Very nice specimen, with good pose and head angle. Great EXP control too. I have the impression he could use a clockwise rotation, unless he's standing on a slope.

    Will be looking forward to more :)

    Welcome, Amir. Excellent first post. I like the colour palette of the image, nice soft frontal lighting and lovely BG - really captures a desert feeling. Agree on the rotation as a possibility and I might crop a little from below to reduce the amount of OOF FG. Looking forward to more of your images.

    Welcome to BPN Amir. Lovely simple pose and I like the soft pastel colours in this. I agree a rotation is needed, and keep them coming.

    Welcome!
    lovely image of a beautiful specimen.
    The super low angle, light and BG makes this one for me.
