Your low POV really makes this one work. Love the colors and how it pops against the BG.

[Norm Dulak]

Not much to say about this but WOW! Super background, subject, pose, color, low shooting angle and sharpness.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Outstanding image.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

I agree, the low POV really looks great along with the solid techs. Beautiful close-up look at this bird. Well done

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Mate, love the soft light in this, and of course the low perspective. Good detail and well exposed.

Others have covered the bases relative to positive comments. The low POV, eye, bill, and aggressive posture make for a grand image.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Outstanding all around.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks to all for taking the time to look and comment!

[Ishmeet Sahni]

Dumay, this image is just awesome. Love the clarity, the BG and the low POV.....

[Arthur Morris]

Killer beautiful as noted by all above. You rocked it being on the ground. If it fits with your personal ethics, a bit of clean-up improves an already outstanding image. Used the Patch Tool and protective cloning on a layer refined with a layer mask. In an ideal world about 1 degree less head turn would have been nice. And yes, I am serious :). Image quality quite excellent.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks Arthur...The cleanup looks good.

[Diane Miller]

Just simply gorgeous -- POV, pose, detail, color -- it's all there!
