    Very nice first post Jesus. Pleasant to look at. Well done. There is a couple of tanish blotches at the bottom of the image a bit distracting but other then that not much else to say. It might take a bit more sharpening or at least that might be something to try.

    Beautiful bird captured in lovely soft lighting. Love the love angle and good detail and composition. Might be tempted to crop a tad from the bottom., Welcome to BPN.and will look forward to your future posts.

    Lovely pose and exposure. VWD for full frame. I am thinking a bit off the bottom too, but not 100 percent sure.

    Bienvenido Jesus!

    Y que buena foto! fascinante especie y que colorida la cabeza, hace que la vista vaya directamente hacia esa parte de la fotografia.

    I hope to see more of your images, this one is really beautiful. I agree about cropping a tad above your signature.

    Howdy Jesus! Love this shot of the King on snow, I agree with the previous comment about some cropping from bottom. A slight head turn toward the camera is the only other improvement I can suggest. Otherwise, love the snow, the low angle and the "fins". Great to have you on the trip and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

    Good Shooting!

    Welcome to BPN!! Very good image to start off with. Great low angle, and although I am not looking forward to the winter I do like the snowy surroundings:). I agree with some cropping at bottom. I also find the whitest whites of the snow could go lighter, and the blackest blacks of the bird's body (not counting the face) could go darker. All else looks great!

    Looking forward to more.....:cool:
