Perch, bird, colors, details and pose all beautiful. You could go vertical and lose the OOF vine on left. What a subject... TFS ps That grasp on...

Thanks as always David. :)

Love the SH right where it needs to be, the perch and the water drops. BG is killer and I'd keep as is. Yes to faster SS to better define rain. This...

A very nice capture Andreas and the very saturated colouring of the Penguins set agains the very contrasty blacks provided for a striking image. I...

Cool image and I like the OOF bird except the halo. Water action is superb... TFS

The BKG I personally find, is very distracting here John, I might just darken it all down. In addition, the three dark 'blobs' in line with the head...

I love the simplicity and complimentary BG of this canvas. Is the eye the membrane? I would lose the hole in perch. TFS

Correct Artie, one of the few, sunny days.

Cool design, though too large in the frame and as already mentioned harsh light was against you. TFS ps Love the mouthful...

Sweet EXP on those whites, nice HA and love the ripples as BG. TFS

Hopefully increasing the SS should offer better definition for the rain. No harm in being different, but it needs to work and the balance I feel...

Ideal angle and the bird is very well shown, the image really conveys the situation very well indeed, a top shot!

Steve, I agree compositionally not ideal, the foremost log is there because it is hollowed out to take seeds, I pulled the grasses up to try to...

No nits from me Arash. However, if this was mine (live in hope!) I'd hit that very small dark spot on the far wing with the spot healing tool in...

I really like this image. The BG works so well as a compliment to the bird's colouring. I'm fine with the top log (don't find it messy/ugly). If it...

Yes, a really dynamic image. Love the overall composition, oof bird behind, water splash, colours and sharpness of the main Penguin. TFS

Agree with Artie here. Really like the smooth BG.

Hi Dan. Sorry, but the lighting is too harsh for me, especially the head. Others will feel differently I'm sure. Cheers.

Low shooting angle is very nice, angle on bird as noted but still a very nice frame, the water is great.

Fish has a nice HA.. Another excellent flight close up. I think you could lower the contrast just a tad for me on this one as the bird is pretty...

I like the idea, and it is nice high key processing for me but the muddled head turn with the partial eye ruins it....

Ditto all the positives above. The only things that bug me are the three yellow grasses coming out of the bird's back. Was this at Bempton? ...

Neat-o! For the repost I got rid of the ghost of a wing and then blurred the BKGR a bit. Are the feathery things feet or gills? Is this a...

Oh my! This is a juvenile Little Gull. You are a lucky man. It needs a bit of CCW rotation and some image clean-up. I am envious! with love,...

Great low angle, bite, and light. My favorite part of the image is the eye of the bird getting its butt kicked. The backs of the birds look quit...
