Interesting lighting on this bird !!!! Love the curved wake it does enhance the sense of movement Good looking bird

Did manage detail under the wings and the light by the trailing foot is neat Still would have like the bird with the light from the left Point of focus seems to be on the body Will be around your area next week !!!

Love the pose and those feathers trailing behind the bird. I just wish for a brighter BG with some more color. Nice image!

[Gavin Spooner]

Thanks for the comments.

Glenn:

Here is a version with the midtones lightened up. My monitor is not calibrated but the image did look dark today. I think this might be too light though.
cheers

I like the original, and in it you show great detail under the wings. I feel that sometimes a darker BG works well, so well done.

This almost looks as if taken at night under the light of the moon...it really gives an interesting feel to the image. Great job on a very unique capture.

I like the original image better. The darker background adds to the atmosphere! This is a great image of a beautiful bird.
