Hello Livio, This has a nice alert pose and a great POV. Very good colors and details in your national bird. We can't always pick our BG - I would say that this shot would be even greater with a darker BG that contrasted with your subject..Still, Very well done!

Poxa Lívio,
esta sua foto da um show de perfeição quando comparada ao meu "carcará". A proximidade da foto com a nitidez da imagem são fantásticas. Até o fundo arenoso deu um toque especial a nossa ave de rapina. A descrição da sua nota também vale a pena.
Parabéns.
Wagner.

A very handsome raptor and very well captured. As usuual the composition is great. Cool bare soil background provides a good contrast. Great shot Livio.

Proud is best describing this bird word. Great pose and colour tones. I like sand in BG - real Mexican, desert mood.

This photo seems to be a study in warm tones, Livio.
A very striking appearance and regal stature in this pose as well.
Well captured, thank you.

What a proud bird. We say in french "the king is not his cousin". Great majestuous pose. At first I was disturbed by the BG color, but finally, it's blurred aspect against the sharp subject work very well. Lot's of atmosphere in your shot, Livio.

Mexican ir not, I always loved the caracara, reminds me a lot of the African secretary bird, too bad the clay colour changes the mood completely in the photo, i want to try a workshop later on it.

Hi Livio, what a beautiful creature. It is easy to understand why it's a national symbol.
Like Howard said it would be great to have some contrast BG, but in these conditions it's a great capture with an very well composition.
Well done.

Hello Livios,

Details are sharp and colors are lovely. The complimentary BG color is very nice but it doesn't make the bird stand out that much. Pose of the bird is great, composition is very good and so are POV and DOF. Well done. TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Great POV, and a lovely subject. Details are great. The BG takes away some of the impact because it does not contrast enough with the subjetc details. Especially in the head and neck area. It's a minor nit and still a lovey capture. Well done, Livio.
