A gorgeous foto, maybe just maybe a bit oversaturated.

[Karl Egressy]

It is oversaturated but it is still very nice, especially the landing pose is.

[Mark Schmitt]

Very nice; would like to see a bit more canvas at the top of the image. Good tonal dynamics and contrast. Maybe soften the BG a bit more. Well done. ;)

[stuart wanuck]

reposted with less saturation?

[Markus Jais]

I like it better with more saturation as in the first image.
This is an awesome shot with a fantastic wing pose. The open bill is great, too!

Tight in the frame, repost's colors look better.
Remember this is not a one way street, and as a courtesy to your fellow posters, if you ask for critique, take the time to offer some.
Thanks for sharing.

[Harold Davis]

tight as mentioned and i would go somewhere in between on the saturation.

[Ed Cordes]

Stunning pose. I like the repost better. I agree it is a bit tight. Wish it were mine though!;)

[Troy Lim]

I like the report better too. That is more natural.

[Stephen Stephen]

I love the pose and the open bill in this image and I prefer the saturation in the repost. I agree with FAbs about the tight frame.

Did you crop this from a portrait or landscape format full frame? If it was the latter I would try to add some canvas to the top and bottom sides.

All that being said I wish that this was in my collection.
