Really pops from that dark background -- maybe remove/darken the white stones on the lower left as my eyes go to that bright spot. Excellent action

very attractive pose, looks as if the pigeon is dancing.

Nice Juan. Great flight position and exposure on teh bird. I too would darken the one blown out leaf or whatever it is on the water on the left. Also, your larger version is not large. Not sure what happened there.

Great flight shot Juan, I'd be curious to know your shutter speed etc on this shot. I agree with toning down the one bright area. Nice job. :toast:

Unusual pose, with fine detail throughout the pigeon. Might be tempted to increase the canvas to give a little more room both on the right and left of the image as well as the top but that's a personal choice.

Welcome. Nice crisp image here. I like the green glow on the water. Double check on posting guidelines. We would enjoy seeing the larger image for detail.
