Avocet, still in breeding plumage gave a nice 'gear down' landing pose for me.

LR and PS. Smoothed the color transition a bit and a couple distractions on the ground in the bkg.

Sublime canvas, just sublime... TFS

The light, the whites, the EXP....

This is fantastic. I love the BG, the pose, the whites.
Tack sharp too!
I have absolutely no nits with this frame.
Well done,

Sweet frame. Pose, light, BG, IQ -- all of it. Well Done!

[Jay Ing]

Wow Brian. Love everything about this. the exposure is just great and IQ is very good. Avos are (at least in my neck o the woods) not that uncommon, but this shows a good shot is a good shot. Really like it. TFS!

The landing pose is dead on. Lovely detail on the bird as well. Background is another plus. A nice image all around.

[Mike Poole]

Just beautiful Brian, only thing I can suggest is a little more negative space to the right to land in if you have it, but everything else is stunning
