Great pose. The light is beautiful, and the water and rocks very pleasing, except for the unfortunate oof centrally placed one. But the light on the bird is what holds my eye. A lovely image.

[Lorant Voros]

I like the rocks a lot here, the funny pose and the connection with the title, but I like the light most that gives a nice mood to the image. TFS.

Hi Chris, classic pose which suits you title, and I do like the rich earthy colours throughout the image.

[William Dickson]

Love this one Chris. As Stu pointed out, the earthy colours are lovely throughout. Lovely pose and the bird blends nice with the BG

Can you hear me now??? Love the light and the setting/environment. The pose is fun but I Hope you were also able to capture this bird in other poses with the eye(s) showing b/c this setting is really lovely.
