Harold,

Great looking eye and beak open. I like the composition - good RoTs placement. Thought he BG transistions at the head it is smooth enough that it is not a distraction but going higher if possible would have gotten the head inthe green completely.

Great timing Harold and I love the open beak and the forward motion you captured in this image. Very complimentary BG as well. Great capture and look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing !!

The background is dark enough that the transition line doesnt really distract from this well composed image with a great pose by the spoonie.

Nice light, sharp and open mouth is a big plus! Nice one. Good job with the BG, the mangroves dont look bad. They can kill an image sometimes.

I like the pose and exposure control. I might apply some NR on the BG.

Very nice Harold.

Great work Harold. I like the white balance, and quality of light. The BG looks great, and you created the image at a moment of interest. Very sharp. The only thing I might recommend is adding a little room at the bottom. His ankles are under water, which means his feet would be cut by the frame if visible. Keep up the fine work, Harold!
