Morteza:

Excellent job of stopping this fellow. Well exposed, sharp, nice full back wing position. The feet are great.

The composition works well, although since he is landing, might give a bit more below if available.

From a fine tuning of the image, if you feel comfortable doing so, I would be tempted to either slightly darken the luminosity of the large tan clump in LRC or even consider cloning in a little of the green pattern from above to soften it a bit.

Cheers

Randy

loved this image you made.

Randy has pointed all the points ..

Randy has made some good points, and while we're at it I would do the same to the bright OOF line touching the belly.
