Dumay,
This in my humble opinion is brilliant, the POV is exceptional as is everything else.
A totally different perspective
Excellent shot! Shooting angle is a tiny bit too low IMO as too much of the FG is oof.
What Ken said.... brilliant.
Love the colours, especially the contrast between b&w and yellow. Tack sharp and nice low angle.
A loveable look at an amazing beast! I love the low angle here, it's as though this ancient monster is coming out of a dream. A nightmare, I guess...
Dumay - this is incredible! Definitely one of my favorite of your images. Great IQ and techs. Congrats on this one.
TFS,
Rachel
Great picture, nice deep shooting position and great eye contact.
Hi Mate, I like your thinking on capturing this angle, and just love the concentrated stare of the HB. I like the how the HB pops from the surroundings, and the hint of blue in the upper BG adds nicely.
Just STUNNING!!!! Very dynamic and dramatic.![]()
Great looking bird well photographed. The low angle worked very well here.
O wow! Stunning image captured here! Love that angle and the exceptional detail.
Very well done!
This is excellent Dumay.
I love the unusual POV of this bird.
IQ is excellent and I love the composition.
Might take a bit off the bottom to get rid of some of the OOF foreground and add back the same amount at top of frame.
Gail
The bird's eyes is too harsh
Your efforts are commendable.
thank you
Thanks for the comments folks... I have to say I like this one a lot. Ofer and Gail I tried your suggestions let me know what you think.
Lots of "in your face" visual impact here along with a great dose of personality ... love it!
With respect to crop, something in between the two for my taste.
Awesome Dumay, just love the low angle well done.
Hi Dumay,
Love the repost!
Gail
Brilliant detail, IQ and pose. Great image.
This is definitely where " big in the frame " works a treat, stunning detail and what a character, OK so I wish we could see his feet, but I see that as a very minor nit pic.....love it.
Excellent image Dumay! I like the low angle, IQ, details and BG. I would crop somewhere between the two.
Brilliant detail. Not sure if I would change anything. Perhaps a very slight contrast adjustment (up) on the bird, but I don't think it needs it. The low angle works well too.
Pete
I like the original crop. The bird inthe repost has more punch. What was this bird doing?
Love the low aspect and the detail is tops. I like the feather detail and the wear detail on the beak. TFS.
I love the intimate view of this incredible bird made possible by your low angle. Nice DOF. Simple, but powerful image.
As said by Ken and Rachel, "Brilliant and Incredible"shot.
Love the pose and great great details,sharpness and colors.
Satish.
Strong image Dumay! Like this one a lot!

Excellent shot. Like the pose & low shooting angle. TFS
A very engaging image, Dumay. I like it a lot. Clean setting, low angle, awesome species and your signature top IQ. I definitely prefer the original comp.
A reptile, the OP is about perfect for me.
