    Another nice frame from the series, and this one fits in nicely with the way the bird frames against the background patterns. Personally I might have taken a little bit off the bottom but that's personal taste. Not sure you need that much shutter speed but the resulting ISO doesn't appear to have harmed the image on this occasion.

    Nice work

    Mike

    Was that a wave breaking in the background? If so, very well timed, sir!

    I like the setting very much but would take a lot off the bottom. I think this would look nicer as a landscape orientation as opposed to the vertical.
    Nice fluffing action.

    The low angle is great. Also like the colors here. This might have been more of horizontal frame. This crop isn't bad though.
