Hi Giulio, what superb timing. Image looks a little soft on the eyes, point of focus seems to be on the wing tips. I love the dance like pose.

[Robert O'Toole]

Like the pose and the framing. The soft blue BG is nice also. As Steve mentioned the Plane of focus seems to be on the wings.

For me the sidelighting is the killer. It is a shame that whites are just too hot and the image is too contrasty. Like to image very much otherwise.

I like the sunlit wings and dancing pose but would prefer more eye contact.

[Robert Smith]

I agree with the others said. You might could do a little adjustment to lighten only the "dark" side of the bird in a separate levels layer adjustment.

Great colors, and you released the shutter at JUST the right moment on this one - superb timing!

I like the pose, the composition, and the light reflection below the bird. However, the sidelight has created shadowing which might have been avoided if you had been able to move your position so that your shadow was pointed at the bird.
