Nice low angle. Like the pose on the bird and there is nice detail as well.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like the low angle too. Neat bird, and the water around the legs is pretty neat. personally I would have preferred a higher wing position, but I can understand if it did not give you that option.

[Frank Gruber]

Daniel I think you are right. This would separate the head from the wing which would yield a stronger composition.

Thanks for psoting your point of view!

Beautiful bird that works really well in that colored water. I like the raised wings but agree it would be even cooler if they were raised more. I like the green line on the top of the frame. I would brighten the whole image and warm it up a bit as well.
