Hi Radu!
Thunderbird or maybe Phoenix :-) Fantastic composition with burning sky.

Hi Radu, nice BG on this shot!
Good compo and details, too.
Andrea

I liked this image. Good pov, colors and sharpness.

Hiya Radu, good clean shot, for some reason the detail of the bird doesn't seem as sharp as it could be, love the light on the bird and the colours of it and the sky are just amazing, as a result the bird really jumps out of the picture at you, very nice composition!

The shadows give the direction of the sun. If the sun is on the top right, the sky doesn't fit (in my opinion). Have you change the background?

Hello Radu, excllent details, bg, POV excllent colora, Great shot, TFS Kyle

Super shot and brilliant lighting. Great job.

The colours are striking. Good detail against the sky. Good POV too.

Excellent capture, the details and colors show up very nice, I also like this POV, it brings us up close to this comical looking fellow. Nicely done. :)

Bonjour Radu!

Félicitations cette prise est originale. L'éclairage est parfaits et les couleurs sont parfaitement exposées. Bravo pour l'arrière plan.
Merci.
joseph

Wow ... very good shot.

**bumped to top** Hello Radu, I added this comment a week ago ago, but you obviously missed it (as you haven't replied). Thanks ...
Sorry to nit pick, but I believe you posted this image before (approx a year ago) and it was removed as the bg was not true to the image. Forgive me if I am wrong but I believe this to be the same image. You also have a pelican shot almost identical in pose on your profile with a blue sky bg.
Digitally manipulated images are not allowed on TN (see point 3 of the TOS).
Apologies again if this is the true bg.

Absolutely amazing picture of this magnificent Pelican with brilliant colors on a fiery BG! Great composition and POV! The picture is very sharp with good exposure and DOF! Excellent job! Congratulations and TFS!

Regards,
Eddie

Highly attractive and eyecatching shot, mainly because of the background.
It looks like it's not the original background, though, so I'll leave this as a comment rather than a critique ;)

definitely a manipulated image, unless we live in a world with two suns! You should remove this photograph.
