The lighting is superb. Great eye contact and exposure.

What a nice pose Gail. I can see why it's your fave. Looks great against that light blue BG. The exposure looks great and we can see lots of beautiful feather detail. Nice that we can see the eye and even though it is not looking at us, I like the forward stare. Very nice.

Nice banking pose, excellent details, Gail. The image brigs back some very cold but fun memories.

[Bill Dix]

Wonderful full-winged ventral view, great light and detail, nice eye. I'd be tempted to give a slivver more room top and bottom, but I'm sure you wanted folks to concentrate on the beautiful bird.

Hi Gail, good choice with the vertical comp, and just love the underwing detail and eye contact. Overall well exposed, sharp, and Im fine with the sky BG. Well captured.

[Gary Hamilton]

Superb image...love the exposure, pose and details. I think I will be spending some time in Ontario next winter!
