Fantastique portrait de cette Pygargue.L'exposition et l'éclairage sont excellent. Les détails dans le plumage et l'oeil sont parfaits.Le Bg noir fait bien ressortir les couleurs et la netteté est très bonne.

Félicitations et merci!

Huseyin Gursu (Avare): coincidence... my city, where I live and I was born, has the name of AVARÉ (State of São Paulo - Brazil). In the language Tupi (original Indian from Brazil) Avaré means: " Among the Brazilian natives, missionary or Christian priest; abaruna."
Congratulations.
