Sweet image Tom it was a very good morning and it was nice to shoot again with you.

[Josh Clark]

I do love this shot. Great that you were able to capture it landing into the light. Nice clean BG as well.

[dankearl]

Really nice light and a great freaked out expression on the bird.
Exposure is perfect and a lot of detail in the feathers.
Very well done.

I call this a Butterlight shot. everything is so creamy here.. beautiful pose, Light angle, that bg..
just wish to make CCW rotation by some degree.

[Tom Redd]

Mital, yes you are correct on the CCW rotation. I corrected the horizon on the Master Image, then cropped the image and the resulting image has lines in the water in the BG that make it look skewed. I have done a slight correction in the horizon here. Thank you for noting this area of improvement.

much better Tom

great landing pose and details well done

[Pieter de Waal]

Great landing pose Tom with excellent detail and exposure. Like the feather detail in the wings and eye contact.
