Lovely detail (especially the tail feathers) but very dark on my monitor, and I wish you had caught the whole wing in the picture. The crop on top feels especially odd with the wing cut off.

I like the simplicity of this shot and would have given it a much higher rating if it wasn't too dark.

This shot looks too dark. I would suggest adjusting curves or levels to bring out more detail. I would also suggest trying to frame so that the wing is not cut off. Sorry to only give the negative, but with a little work, this could be a nice image.

Sorry, my english is not so good....

nice capture, but the light could be somewhat brighter and the wing could be whole to see

This had potential to be a nice shot, but it under exposed.

A little too dark for my liking. Maybe try playing with the curves?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this one but I think it would be a little better if you was to lightn it some and could have gotten the whole bird in, wing tip to wing tip. The detail is nice. Good luck.

Nice try. Just hopes that it was centered well with some good contrast.
