Dancing indeed, Jaapv. I love the positions of the feet and wings. A lovely image.

Hi Jaapv, I really like the background here as a backdrop for this fine image - quite complimentary IMO. Nice wing position and I like the angle of the bird’s body towards us and the look our way. I see a slight blur in the head but it’s not very noticeable. Nice image.
