    I kind of like this one even if I feel that something is missing...the side light was tricky...1/1250 f5.6 1600 iso, 100-400mm at 200mm. Thanks for looking, Giulio

    I like the hovering posture, together with the curled talons. The light shows up the fanned tail nicely, and I would maybe add a touch of contrast to the overall image.

    Giulio I the BG lloks a bit washed out to me. I would reduce the exposure of the BG and the subject to a lesser amount.

    Love the backlight and the pose. Did a lot of work on the various tonalities using both Curves and Tim Grey dodge and burn.

    YAW Guilio. The Tim Grey Dodge and Burn will be in the next Digital Basics update. I use it all the time.
