    Gus,

    Greetings. A beauty! If it were mine, I'd pump the color a bit. Wish for more detail in the whites. Good show!

    Cheers,

    -Michael-

    Great capture Gus, like the blur of the wings.

    That's a beauty, Gus! Might check those whites - they look close to being hot - but everything else is stunning. You really outdid yourself this time!

    Yes this is beautifully done Gus. Love the composition and background. Neck whites look a little hot. You may be able to do something about this in RAW conversion or later.

    Lovely image Gus, I like how you've positioned the bird in the frame here.
