That's a sweet photo all around Frank. Lovely background, great head angle, interesting tail-up pose and superb detail and exposure. Only suggestion is that maybe you could go tighter, mostly from bottom and left.

Hi Frank. This has super detail here and I like your comp but I might prefer taking some more of the FG out. The BG is super smooth and clean. Love the profile of the bird

[Joe Senzatimore]

A re-crop , as suggested, would make this much stronger. Wonderful IQ.

[Markus Jais]

Wonderful shot. Beautiful soft light and great head turn. I like that species.

Did you use a blind? Föhr might be worth a trip in the future for me.

What a perky-looking bird! I love the raised tail, pose and green BG. Which the rocks in the FG were less prominent.

[Satish Ranadive]

Superb image. Beautiful pose. Very nice BG.
Agree with others about crop.

Regards,
Satish.

nice capture Frank,good BG,nice pose,sharp with great detail,like the recrop.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Great pose, IQ on the subject, BG. The recrop looks better, but still too bad you had to contend with the large oof fg element.

[David Salem]

Great looking shot with sharp details, a great pose and a nice colorful BG . I like the recrop best. Well done
