    Charlene:

    Wonderful point of view, excellent control of whites, sharp, pleasant background.

    It really helps us understand the creation of an image when you supply both the camera/lens details and any post processing that you did.

    From a compositional standpoint, a bit more room below for the 'virtual feet' and the bird a bit more to the left in the frame, less centered

    Cheers

    Randy

    PS: Would love to see pictures of your hide if you have any! I occ. take waterfowl shots, and am always looking for options.

    Nice low shooting angle, layered background and excellent detail.

    Randy summed it up for me. A bit tight both top and bottom. Otherwise, excellent exposure of the white and the details. Loi

    Hi Charlene, great to see you posting here again. Excellent angled pose, very well exposed on the whites, and I do like the low perspective you achieved here from the hide. Thats a killer BG, and I agree with Randy, having more space below for the virtual legs and feet.

    Please remember to post your shooting techs.

    Super nice image of a common bird. Nice low angle shooting, great sharpness and IQ, nice multi colored BG. Agree it needs more room below and maybe some above and in the right. Nice work.
