I love it! Great suspended-in-air pose, perfect exposure, sharp and a complimentary bg.

[Aidan Briggs]

Nice exposure, pose, and sharpness. I love the purple and gold BG. I do wish the head was turned towards us a tad more.

Beautiful! I like the pose and the colors. Exposure is perfect. Excellent work!

Chris, I really like how the bill and feet mimic each other. The landing pose is fantastic! Sharp and well exposed.

[Arthur Morris]

Very well done. Love the feet, the SH, and the perfect EXP. And yes to all the positives above. I would have preferred that the far wing were more swept back to avoid the merge with the head. I agree with Aidan: with the bird angling slightly towards us the head needed to be on straight.....

[Nico Steenberg]

Super sharp detail and exposure. Like the pose and comp ;)

Another absolute stunner Chris...You enjoying that 7D 300f 2.8 combo?

Good time of day, good position, good bird.
