Thank you.

Gorgeous pose and detail. Wonder if this would be better in Vetical as the surrounding bushes tend to distract a little.

Nice capture Haim! The pose is terrific, and I think the shrub at the left adds balance. And the background is very nice.

My only suggestion would be to try to reduce the brightness of the rock on which the bird is perched. But you obviously had strong light to contend with. If you have a version of Adobe Photoshop with the Shadows and Highlights tool, it does a very nice job on the rock, and it can also reduce the shadows on the bird if you wish to do so.

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent composition, Haim. Terrific pose and details. Agree on Norm on reducing the brightness on the rock. I would also suggest to take a bit off the bottom. TFS.

I really love the composition and background. The shrub adds a nice balance to the image. I'm somewhat unsure about the HA on the bird. While I like the pose, I don't feel a connection with the eye.
