Hi from the C CLub

Nice looking bird there!

There is something about this shot that just feels a little off. I think it is the straight lines behind it. They are throwing the bird off and making it look like it should be straightened out. I think a squarer crop may have helped this a little with that issue. The bird looks great, sharp and clean. I would like to have seen you zoom in a little bit more on this as you have such good clarity on the head. In post processing, the selective colours, colour balance and curves would have pushed those colours on the wing nicely. Maybe, just maybe exposue and contrast with a touch of gamma would have deleted your background somewhat.

Nice shot, well done
