    Neat pose, I also like the iridescence, eye contact and BG and might give it a bit more room at the top.

    Ramon, techs look good, and it's an interesting shot. How are you liking the 300 2.8?

    Saludos,

    Nice to have yo back, Ramon. Nice pose for sure, nice light and colors, eye contact. Agree with giving it some more room on the top. Hope you will participate more from now on...missed your photos.

    Good to see you posting images again Ramon! That 300 f/2.8 does really well with a 2x. Great detail and an interesting pose. Agree about a bit more canvas up top.

    Just the room mentioned...all else looks good (except I wish there was less going on in the eye's reflections). Awesome colours!!

    Great to see you posting again Ramón :) Perhaps it is not the best image that you have ever done but, IMO, is a very good one. Details in th eplumage are awesome and the unusual pose for a portrait works very well for me. Keep them coming when you can ;)
