Beautiful but personally I would have slightly increased the contrast ....


If you do not feel a offfesa I am allowed to rework it a little bit ...

Hello und thx..
no Problem, but for me its now a little bit to much contrast ;-)

Lets see what other avian friends would say...

Hi Eric,

This is a very nice, dynamic take-off pose - I like it very much. The bird is beautiful - so much of the pale feathers.

Yes to some more contrast, but less than Gianluca used, in my view; and only on the bird.

Also worth spending some time cleaning up the foreground sand - reducing the dark patches and removing the red items on the beach (more carefully than I have done, of course!).

Thanks for sharing - very well done.

Very dynamic take off pose of a very unusual bird for us! Gerald gave us a nice repost which I feel works the best of the three above.
