Very nice I like how the motion blur on the wings give them a fluffy look. But I do think you should crop out the black window edge on the right, and if possible not crop so tight on the top.

Thank you, locksmagic. The thing is that I've already cropped it more than enough, and I am afraid that, if I crop it further, pixel-wise, it would look awful.

Nice pic. Ya you can crop the pic but not that much. In my view you should keep the front wall in the pic else the effect of flight might be lost. Good luck.

Thank you, drskn08. I already cropped it, following lockmagic's hint, and I ought to admit that it looks a tad better. Was waiting almost half an hour under the blistering sun for little bugger to take off.

ok. i was not in favour to crop the front wall.. I think every good photographer has to make efforts like you.. some time in hot,sometime in cold or some time even in rainy environments but if you get a pic as you wanted to.. then its such a great satisfaction..

Nice finding. GL author

Great capture of an interesting sculpture. Can you tell us more about the sculpture?

Glad to answer your question Friiskiwi
The sculpture is situated on the door of Santa Maria degli Angeli's Church, in Rome.
You can find more information about this church (one of the most beautiful in Rome) here:
