    Wow, that is quite a different pose!! I love how the wings cross each other at the tip. Great BG to isolate the subject. Except for the eye I'd give it a boost in contrast. I'd also place the bird more at left to give it more room to burst into. Very cool...

    A very dramatic pose from this Sand Grouse... Like the pose Vivaldo... I tend to agree with Daniel on the composition, just a tad too central

    Wow, great pose! I love this image.
    I agree about the composition. I think it would improve if he bird is placed a bit closer to the upper-left corner.

    A very dynamic image. I think Daniels suggestions applied to this would make it an absolute killer shot.

    Wow, amazing action captured, Vivaldo. Just love the sharp focus on the eye, the bg and the pose. Love how the bird is jumping out the frame.
    Like the crop from the left, but I would probably retain the room on the top since that's the direction he's headed.
    Fantastic image. TFS.

    real cool and different pose. The repost works better for me and I'm glad you took some off the top too.

    Great wing position, and your repost looks good, although Im going with Sidharth to have left more space on top. Great BG, and love the colours on the sandgrouse.

    Very dynamic frame with some good suggestions on cropping and contrast. The eye contact is fantastic and the pose is really unique! I would be tempted to place the bird lower in the frame since it is blasting off from below. I think the bird could stand some additional sharpening.
