    Nice pose and low angle. Looks washed out on my monitor. More contrast on the body would probably bring out more of the delicate feather pattern.

    Another beauty. Love the OOF water both FG and BG from the nice low POV. Contrast looks Ok for me, but I had just calibrated. TFS

    A fine shot John, just to be awkward I would suggest the contrast may be a tad high, I find the brightest plumage a little bright and the darkest a little dark....... but only a little in both cases.

    Looks quite excellent to me. This is a difficult species to photograph well. You have done it. The soft light helped. I would love to see some more detail in the whites -- there are some gorgeous vermiculations hidden in those white feathers.

    Hi John .. yet another fine shot !

    Lovely low POV and the slight head turn is good . I might tone down the brighter parts on the subject

    TFS Andreas
