I like the detail in the far underwing. The bird looks relatively sharp but I think that the head and face could use some selective sharpening as the flank looks a bit sharper than the face. The near wing position is way less than ideal--fully raised would have been perfect, and much of the white plumage looks a bit to grey. I like also that you have the bird back in the frame.

thanx for comment,what do you mean with whites look to grey?? If you you are not too busy, may be you can make a repost that me and others can see..
I like to know something that has got nothing to do with this post. I want to become a member of BPN but i cannot make use of PAYPAL for some reason,so is there another way of paying the fees for membership ?? A solution would be appreciated .
Andreas, you got the bird at a very nice angle w.r.t yourself. Looks like sun was high. and a lot to your left. with that light angle, full wings down would have been nice. agree with Artie that the face looks a bit soft. Otherwise, details are pretty nice.
Hi Andreas, I agree with the boys above. Nice image overall. For web posting I would also darken the pupil more. Paypal gives you the option of paying via credit card...are you able to do it this way? Send me a PM if you are still having trouble and I will forward it to someone who can help you.
