Awesome pose, excellent sharpness, detail and exposure control. Perch could have been better but not too bad. A bit tight at the top and left. Would like to see it as 1024 pixels.

James:

Agree about the fun pose, tech details. That perch looks familiar

I might consider toning down the specular highlights along the bottom of the perch, just to keep our eye from being pulled away from the bird.

Cheers

Look at your top left edge, and I see dust spots (f10 at work). Love the pose, would like more room. BG is sweet.

Love the dynamic pose, excellent exposure with good details, sharp with nice low angle as well.

The top left does look like the image has been rotate and crop. Also maybe also run NR on just the background only.

Hey Jimmy, Good to see you posting here. All excellent comments above. Love the low angle and the double overhead wing stretch. If that board was a the north end of the East Pond I am pretty sure that it is the one that I yanked out of the mud and re-positioned it square to the late afternoon light....
