Hohoho
Guess who's back...back again :))

Ce mai faci Radule?! Imi pare foaret bine sa te revad pe aici! Sper ca mai stai...nu pleci iara repede pe undeva :)
Foarte misto portrat de soim! Chiar ca prezinta o coloratie superba, care aici parca e scoasa si mai bine in evidenta de albastrul perfect al cerului.
Excelente detalii, foarte bun POV si foarte inteligenta folosirea flash-ului ca effect de fill-in pentru a obtine detalii si din partile umbrite.
Una peste alta, o poza splendida!

Bravo, TFS si bine ai revenit :)

Hi Radu,
Excellent portrait of this A. Krestel!
I like the close approach and upwards POV to portray it against the blue sky.
So good the feathers patterns, colours and catchlight.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Radu

Great POV and excellent detail and colours. Did you take this at 'Desert Park' (think that is its name?) - I was in Palm Desert in November.
