Fully agree! Well seen and captured!
Just straighten the horizon and this is top notch!

What a wonderful scene! Stunning light. I have a couple of suggestions and I hope you don't mind. Firstly - no doubt you have a version without the wing spread - I think I might prefer that. Secondly, I'd like to see the top and right edges without the branches crossing/touching. That would mean of course taking out the branch of the tree, which might be too difficult. Those are very minor and I really do love it!

When this first opened on my screen I almost thought it was in Africa because the light is so intense. I agree with Ian's assesment of the bird with wings closed but would disagree with the tree cropping as for me the windswept branches are a big part of the image. :toast: :toast:
