    I like the low angle, preening pose, details, composition and layered FG/BG. Well done Lorant.

    Terrific preening shot, Lorent. Great low POV and pose. I might just try to brighten and sharpen the eye.

    What a FUN preening pose...unique to me. It's nice to see the skimmer in breeding colors and the varied BG is quite pleasing. Glad you have some catchlight in the bird's eye.

    Terrific preening pose captured here Lorant, with wonderful color and detail. I love the eye-level POV and the BG is wonderful. Excellent low angle work.

    Hi Lorant, great IQ, and love the overall light. I like the low perspective here, and well done for having captured this unique pose. Comp wise, I would have liked a bit more space on the RHS.

    Nice pose and details in this Lorant. I still think this one needs some more blacks to bring out the details. Not as washed out as the last one but still a little on that side. Nice work

    Great pose captured with very nice exposure for the whites. Got to love that low angle as well
