Looks great! I do wish the eye was better lit (in this case, a bit less of a head angle would have likely done the trick). All else is super. Low angle, colours, exposure, details, and leg reflections. Very nice Florida beach feel here.

Great shot. Good lighting, feather detail and IQ.

Excellent image, Joseph. Wonderful colors, great details, nice low shooting angle and lovely composition.

Very nice Joe. Love the POV, detail and colours throughout. Nice HA, all blends well with the BG. Well done.

Like the point pov, head turn, and interesting BG, Joseph. Wonderful detail and a nice touch with wet tip of beak.
