    I really like pose and setting, too bad you clipped the foot. Is that a stick he is about to lose?

    Great action you caught here. Maybe the contrast is a little high but the action makes up for it

    He is dropping a stick because he got buzzed by a cattle egret. Yea i missed the tip of the foot -wrong lens I guess.

    Hey Gary,
    If not ethically against.........tip of foot can be added in with canvas. I'm liking the BG.........even though others may find it distracting.

    I'm liking that background!! I'd really consider reconstructing the foot tip - it would make a heck of a difference. Very good action :-)

    Nice timing, Gary. I like the spread wings.

    Adding canvas and the missing toe would be a snap with QMing, esp. since the very bottom of the frame is pretty much dark and o-o-f. I would see who it looks with the midtones brightened a bit. Love the sharpness, the spread wings, and the stick.
