Nicely done. These are really fast creatures. Good down-wing position. I could imagine just a little more room in front.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Killer pose and sharpness Tim

[Karl Egressy]

Fantastic BIF shot of one of the fastest flying water bird species. Well done.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Tim, excellent flying pose with the full downstroke of the wings, and in turn showing off great detail and colours too. I like the curvature of the body, and both the red feet and red bill stand out very well. Comp wise, I would take off the top, and add to the LHS.

[Eric Dienesch]

I think you have done an excellent job with this b i f .
ok a little bit more room in front, thats all, but it is still a very good capture.


Greetings Eric

Hi Tim
A beautiful subject well captured. I think your background really make the bird stand out.

Very well done.
Perfect wings down position and good IQ.
I like the hint of wispy cloud in the BG.
I am OK with your comp as is but could see a sliver more room on the left.
