Killer colors on the biard and the background. Exposure is spot on and it's cool to get something like this at just 400mm

Really nice. The head on this bird including the eye just grabs me. Super comp and BG too. Well done.

Very pleasing shot. Love the background as it really accentuates the bird. Detail in the larger version really shows.

This is impressive Antino. The colors throughout are wonderful, the detail looks good and I love the fluffed pose on the back and tops of the wings. Very, very nice.

Absolute wonder here Antino ...excellent colors and BG and the comp is fantastic too ..well done ...a tad bit more space below the tail would have done this good ..but great as it is ...
