I love it. It looks like some sort of flying dinosaur. Was this originally under-exposed?

with love, artie

Really like the pose on the bird here. Good head angle as well.

Also really like the dynamic pose. I especially like that we can see the feet kicking off. The perch is nice. Really impressive wingspan. TFS

Hi Joseph,
I like the diagonal of the bird in the frame and nice take off pose.

Hi Artie... yup, the original was underexposed by about 1 stop. I had just set up and focused when the bird took flight. No time for a test shot, probably should have been at +2. Thank you for viewing and commenting.

Thanks Joe. You did a good job in post.
