Excellent in flight portrait, Lorant.
It shows the shape of the beak from the front.
Nice eye contact and sharpness of the head as well.

Cool head on close up of this guy. Nice and sharp and I like the green in the BG. Well done

"In your face"! I love the incoming pose, and the wings are cut at just the right place. Nice oof BG. I like how thin the bill is to cut smoothly across the water, pretty cool.

Awesome head-on pose brother!
Love the shallow DOF, the sharpness is just in the
right places.
Well done and TFS.
