Beautiful colors, wonderful exposure, great focus.
Regards, Krzysztof.

pieknie zlapane:)

Nice detailed shot, good colors and the whites are well exposed. I might have been tempted to work a smaller crop or maybe clone to try and get rid of that forground brnach, it detracts the viewers attention away from the bird.

Superbe oiseau aux yeux fantastiques et éblouissants. La netteté est parfaite par contre, les petite branche qui passe au bas de la photo à l'avant plan distrait un peu.

Félicitations et merci.
