    Hi Massai,


    First welcome to the forum. I think this is a good first post. I really like the background/sky. I find the color gradient very pleasing. I like that the bird is angled slightly towards us providing a good head angle and that you provide room for the bird to fly into. The bird appears sharp to me. In a perfect world I would wish that the far wing was in a more upward position. However, since the head does not intersect with the wing I am OK with the image as presented. If this were mine I would lighten/brighten the whites and head some. I look forward to seeing more of your images. Thanks for sharing.

    Regards,

    Phil

    Beautiful image. Love the how the background fades into different colors. Great flight pose and nice light. Well done.
