I like the feather deatil captured in the light feathers. Good pose comp colour and BG.
In two minds on the water drops. not sure if they should stay or go. i think the bottom should be cloned out?

[David Fletcher]

Wonderful shot Nicholas. Good details and exposure control, nice flight pose and killer bg. Re the water drops, understand Dave's thinking and could suggest moving the bottom one up, :). Nicely done.

I like the position of the head against the far wing. You did well in the relatively harsh light.

Where and when???

Pin sharp and perfect pose IMO. Love the way you handled the comp. I am not sure about the bottom water droplet! Congrats! :)

[Marc Mol]

Very nice comp with lovely detail & exposure, was this hand held?

[Arthur Morris]

Merci beaucoups.

Excellent pose Nicolas! I too love the thwe wing behind the head, very nice. I also like the vegetation at bottom. As posted you could lighten the catchlight a bit more (it surely looks great full-size).
