Very nice exposure, wing position and details. Love the wispy clouds in the sky. I'd move the bird further down in the frame, but comp is always a subjective thing. Very nicely done.

This is a very pleasing image. I like the cloud in the back which adds a lot of interest. The pose and catch light are nice. I agree on moving the bird down.

What's not to like? Tack sharp and the wispy clouds with a hint of pink really add a lovely dimension to the image.
The water droplets and the slight angulation of the head and body towards the viewer are nice.
Exposure is perfect and the blacks look good. I am OK with this comp but could see a version with a sliver more on top and in front of the brant.

Very nice flight shot, well done.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree lower in the frame would have been better, but all else looks quite fine. I really like that you have a hint of clouds in the BG.

[Joe Murphy]

Thanks all, & good call on the lower in the frame
