Jesse, I'm liking the splashing sand and the sense of action it gives, the gradient BG and that you got down really low. My primary nit is that the bird is headed away from you so there's no light/catchlight in the eye. I'd still be proud if this was my shot.

I kind of like this one. When I'm putting together a show I'm always looking for a slide to end with. This bird heading into the sunset could be that slide.

Lovely mood, Jesse. Agree on the bird facing you but Ivan has made a very interesting observation :)

[Mike Wilson]

Great combination of action and late light color in the distance. The sand being thrown up by the feet adds interest, the bird is a bit dark and I would consider lightening it a bit.

[Alfred Forns]

Jesse this image has awesome feel !!!! Love it all !!! Big Time Congrats !!!!!

[Milo Burcham]

Great colors and action, and although it can be put to good use as mentioned, standing alone it would be stronger with the bird more in profile

[Raymond Barlow]

very cool shot Jesse., I like the mood, and the artistic value.

[Glenn Bartley]

I love the mood. He looks like he is motoring!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Great colors and great BG!!!
I agree for the bird profile

[Linda Robbins]

The bg colors aresoft and lovely, and the bird traveling away works very well in this image. I think the image would be improved by lightening just the bird a bit.
