I like your image. It looks like correct exposure on an always challenging pure white bird. Lots of detail,tack focus and a clear eye. If it were mine I would leave more space at the top.

Good one, Joe. The whites look well exposed with a lot of detail, and the rich blue background really sets it off nicely.

Excellent image. Beautiful exposures in whites.

I like the sharpness, curves of the neck, rich BG and composition works for me. Very well done Joe.
