Marina:

Lovely colors, soft light with gentle ripples reflecting onto whites, good eye contact/head angle.

Very nice. I could see just a tiny sliver off the top, but just personal taste.

Cheers

Hi Marina,

This is beautiful capture love the settings here..Exposure is spot on, sharp and nice HA...I would leave some more space at bottom.

The water color does it for me with this one. I like the HA and ruffled up feathers on the Snowy though as well.

What a BG, sets everything off perfectly, great capture

[Markus Jais]

What a great BG. Awesome colors. I also like the composition and the head turn.

Wonderful exposure on the whites, lots of detail, and love that golden background.
Head angle and eye contact great and like the puffed up neck feathers :-)

There's not much more beautiful than a white bird against such a warm rich background. Stunning image, Marina. I love it. Perfect exposure, comp, and love the standing up feathers on the head and that sinuous neck.

[Frank Schauf]

Perfect in every way, Marina.
