I really like this, I love the new photos you have uploaded onto your website especially the backlit ones, where was the SEO photo taken?

This one looks too dark on this monitor Marek. I can hardly see any detail in the plumage. The main problem for me though is that you cannot see the birds eye at all and for me that really takes the 'life' out of the subject. Compositionally I quite like it even though it is quite tight in the frame and I think the out of focus highlights in the distance adds atmosphere.
Try some selective shadow lifting and see if the eye can be 'found'.

Nice. Great pose! I agree it does look a bit dark on my monitor, but I can just about see the eye and some feather detail, so I reckon you'll be able to give it a lift to bring it out.
