Love this species. Love the perfect EXP and head angle, the near wake, and the raised crest. I wish only for more room all around especially in front of the bird.

[Sid Garige]

Artie said it all. Very nice techs and excellent details.

[Steve Canuel]

Beautiful bird and I really like the look of the water. A touch more room in front would work for me.

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Jeroen, nicely handled as ever with great detail, you've got to love that head. Another vote for more room all round to allow the subject to breathe a bit more. :w3

Beautiful bird, caught with fully raised crest and good HA. Techs good. Another vote for some room, especially top and left.

Another beauty Jeroen! I like the raised crest, colours, sharpness and complimentary BG. Another vote for more room top and left.
