Loi:

Nicely exposed under dim conditions. Good shooting angle. The clump is interesting, but wish it wasn't right under the bird.

I could see a version with the sky cropped off, and some off the right to balance the proportions. I think this would work because of his bent over pose.

Cheers

Randy
