    I simply love this image Phil !!!! For my taste wouldn't change a thing !!! Love the bg and low angle, great head position, sun angle is just fine with the bird perfectly lit and what a pose. Real good feel to the image which for me makes it or breaks it !!! Big Congrats on this one Looking forward to many more !!!!!

    Al is right...nicely done! Great BG. Head angle and detail on the bird are wonderful. The little bit of "action" with her kick is lovely!
