I like this, however, I'm confused about where the light is coming from. The bird in the larger version is sharp. Sharon

Nice shot, and I really like the way you used the light.

Interesting use of the light -- i Mught try to take some off the right -- about half the distance between right edge and the bird -- just to see what that might look like. I would try that because to my eyes that is the brightest light in the picture and takes some emphasis from the bird. Might not be better but might be worth a look see

A beautiful morning scene, a perfect head turn for the angle of light and the dark background is great. Excellent work Gorazd

Quite a unique image Gorazd. I like the light on the bird and the grasses.

Excellent composition and I love the low key feel. I might suggest a touch of fill light in the shadows on the bird only. Looks like he was heading for the water as you pushed the shutter.

Interesting effect of the low light on the grasses and back lit bird. I like this a lot.
