Raul:

Ouch! Very interesting perch, really like the one toe up on the spine. Good angle of bird in frame, slight open mouth, good exposure. I think the head could stand just a bit more sharpening. From an aesthetic standpoint, I might make the signature a bit smaller, it distracts from the bird.

Cheers

Cool perch and nice comp.

Hey Raul,
I really like the perch and the bird angle is vey nice. I might go for a bit off the top fro my tastes.....but you will get disagreement on that point from others. O do wonder about the sharpness like Randy....but that may be correctable.

[Raul Padilla]

Thanks for the critic, very usefull.

[Doug Brown]

Nice bird on a cool perch. I would move the bird higher in the frame, including more perch and less sky in the composition. Agree with the others about sharpness.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great exposure and perch. Like the colours. Ditto more sharpening.
