Vivaldo, You really made some sweet music here. I love the SH and the raised wings. And the BKGR. And the long tail feathers (raised no less!) Plus a perfect head angle and a great look at the tiny feet. A somewhat thinner perch would have been nice but I still love this one a stack.

I agree that the perch could have been thinner, but you cannot always control that. I like been able to see the underwing and those dainty little feet.
Vivaldo, aside from the techs being right on, this image just has a lovely flow to it. Love the open space on the left. I could see just a tad more space on the right but I don't know if this is full-frame or not so I'm not sure if you have anything to work with.
Vivaldo great image as noted above. Colours are good and especially like the gunmetal blue shine on the tail. Nice to get the wiretail so clear - well done.
