Vladimir:

A big welcome to BPN, nice first post.

Handsome bird, nice dorsal view, like the dangling legs.

He is angling away from us, although the head is back our way a bit. Generally the image is more engaging if the bird is coming towards us.

The background works well with the subject.

Perhaps a bit too centered in the frame. I would move him a bit more to the right.

Look forward to more from Russia.

Cheers

Randy

You have a lovely top view here of this bird and an nice flight pose. Your background is extremely pleasing and really compliments your subject. I agree on cropping it to take him out of the center. In a perfect world, had the bird been turned toward you a little more, it would have helped, but all in all, a nice flight shot.

Looking forward to more photographs from Russia!

Randy, Marina,
thank's for your comments. I agree, that the bird better moved in right, but on original photo the bird already is moving left( so so ) and unfortunately i can't change this situation.
I will to use you advices in future.


Regards,
Vladmir.
