    I can't see that well in the laptop, but I think this is one and half stops overexposed, when you start to lose the edges, it's overdone.

    Manos, You've captured a beautiful moment in flight, but for my taste it appears too washed out. Not sure why you went to +3 stops on exposure. I do see some detail, but I think you could get a lot more out of this image with reduced exposure.

    Hey Manos, interesting image. The repost is better in terms of detail in the bird, but I'm still bothered by the total loss of the wing tips. It certainly has an artistic feel, but I think you can improve this type of image in the future if you decrease the exposure. Looks like a really nice bird species!

    Agree with all above. Not only are the wingtips gone, the feet are gone too. Been there, done that...
