Welcome to BPN! Very nice first post. I like the pose, light, wing position and BG and would add some space at the right side for the bird to 'fly into' and maybe a bit more at the top. Keep them coming.
Very nice image. The bird is sharp and well exposed. The curve of the body goes well with the curves in the BG. I echo Axel's comment for the need to have some more space above and in front of the bird.
Excellent suggestions above. Looks like the face could use a bit more sharpening. Absoultely my favorite wing position.
later and love, artie
