Killer colours and light - I love the BG. HA may be an issue but overall like this image. Great species too.

nice image,good detail,light and colors,well done.

I like your crop. The exposure is right on and the BG colors are killer. Again, the only thing is the head angle, but a nice image none the less.

The light is super, the image is crisp. A beauty overall.....

These shots from Giants Castle are stunning, with wonderful light and BG. I like everything about this one, and the HA doesn't bother me at all.

Well done, Chris. loved this one. light is simply gorgeous. So is the BG. I like the wing-tip-to-wing DOF coverage. Terrific details and exposure.

I think HA is overrated in BIF shots like this.
I don't mind head turns at all, and I don't mind this one, especially.
Great detail and sharpness and BG.

[adrian dancy]
