Hi Arno,

Nice looking bird presented in an interesting pose. I like the wings position and the nesting material. Your exposure and sharpness look good. I think this could also work as a vertical. Thanks for sharing.

Good sharpness and exposure. The bird feels a little tight in the frame for me. Not sure that a vertical would work because the bird is so close to the tree. I would blur the one branch that's in focus in the LLC.

Great sharpness and exposure. Building material adds.
