Not alot to say to this....it is beautiful. Nice sharp bird, feather detail, head angle, wing position and crop are all contributing their parts to the whole and the result is simple and spectacular.
I would add perch as a bonus to what Carole has said above...Love the eye contact...
Super pose detail and colours. well captured and exposed

Hi Arno.
I think the above observations are spot on. This is really nice!
But one thing you might consider would be to crop out just a little from the right. I think there is a bit too much negative space there.
Hi Arno, good pre-take off pose with the raised wings, and I like the overall sharpness. Well captured.
I like this one very much. Great take off pose, good head angle and exposure. Maybe adding a bit more room on the left with a bit more perch and taking away some of the negative space on the right would be a good idea.

excellent pose and great details, this might work in a vertical too.
