Crested Lark

I liked the ground and the texture of the soil here even more than the bird.
I wish the strong shadow on the ground was not there but...

CC appreciated.

I like the angle, look-back pose and BG and agree that a better light angle would have made it even stronger.

I love the composition, HA and low shooting angle. The bright sheen on the bird is a distraction, but as you say, the texture of the ground is very interesting!

Nice clean shot and the ground does add to it. I wonder if a vertical would make much of a difference and lessen the impact of the shadow. Dave

nice notes above, I like the wall texture and the birds pose Bhai...

I think the light's OK, just the direction a bit off, but still works. The pose is nice Ilija. Is this still from Macedonia?

[Ashay Dhavale]

Nice shot. The BG is good. HA is fine as well. Not very sure about the light here though. Looks a bit harsh to me.

Ilija, I like the pose and the background. The ground texture does add to the image. Nice low shooting angle.
