Nice low angle, perfect bg, sharpnes and details in the black & whites. If anything I which for a small head angle towards you.
Thanks for sharing.

I might try and reduce the sheen on the bill and wish for a catchlight but otherwise I like it as presented.

[Mark Young]

The exposure looks great, nice composition. As already mentioned a catchlight would have been wonderful.

[Daniel Cadieux]

But there is a catchlight present, perhaps it needs to be lightened for web presentation but it is definitely there. Good image Glen - lovely colours and great low angle.

[Per-Gunnar Ostby]

Greta angle and pose. I agree about calming the sheen

lovely capture

[Craig Brelsford]

The thumbnail was enticing, but once again no shot visible here in the thread. From the thumbnail it looked as if you had great light and a good low angle.

This is amazing! the details on bird & angle looks very good!!
