Great light comp and colour. Nice one well done

[Stu Bowie]

Excellent exposure on the blacks, and nice and sharp. Superb low angle, and love the raised foot. I also like the colours in this. Great image.

You did relatively well with the off-anlged light from the right. A bit higher here might have been better--it would have given some separation between the bird's back and the bottom of the reeds.

Please let us know in your original post where each image was created. Thanks.

Magnus, I'm liking this alot. Great pose with the raised foot. I'm liking Artie's suggestion to have a slightly higher angle to better seperate the horizon line from the bird's back. I'm finding the image quite bottom heavy with the thick layer of OOF FG elements. If you are open to alternative crop ratios a pano crop similar to this helps with that and yields an interesting result IMO.

Oh, i like the suggested crop alot! The panocrop made the image much better! Thank´s!
