Geir,

Very nice pose and interesting image.
Exposure looks fine. May be little more DOF ?

[Doug Brown]

The foam reminds me of a cloud. Good job with the exposure. A little more eye contact would have been nice. I personally don't use much ISO 100; I prefer the added flexibility I get with ISO 400 (especially on the low-noise Canon pro bodies). In this image the shallow DOF works well IMO. Maybe a little tight up top and on the left.

I like the low angle and overall feel of this Geir. Doug has made some good points for future consideration.
:S3:

Great low angle. LIke the surf. Agree about a little more eye contact.

Thank you for your feedback. I have been interested in birds since I was a little boy. I started taking pictures of birds for 5 years ago. The software was cheap and ISO over 100 gave noise. It is not so long ago I bought Lightroom 3 and then I see that this problem disappeared. So here after I'm going to use higher ISO. Regards Geir Jensen

Lovely shot, thought it was in snow when viewing the thumbnail :bg3:
Only issue is just a bit more eye contact I think, other than that it looks great.

Is find these birds so photogenic. I love the low angle and dof creating what at first looked like snow to me which of course it isn't but very nice effect. I think you got just enough eye to make this work for me especially since you got a CL .
