    Beautiful image here Gary. Great exposure on the whites. Some might wish to have the right wing up higher to match the left but I'd be pleased to add this to my collection.

    Nice exposure and sharpness Gary. Love the near wing! I would only like to see a slightly lower angle here. Thanks for posting!

    Great find, details and setting. I wish the right wing were higher up and the BG is a bit too dark for my taste. You could try a slightly wider crop. Thanks for sharing!

    Excellent exposure control. Agree with Doug on low angle.

    Excellent find and pose. Was there some clone work done near the rock and between the rock and bird as there are a lot of repeating patterns and what looks like a shadow of a foot on the rock

    Hi Gary Always a treat finding those morphs

    Agree with having a straight up wing position and a bit more room, feels tight as presented Don't mind the dark bg since it makes the bird stand out so well and you did very well with the feather detail Got a keeper !!!!

    Really excellent exposure and feather detail. and I like the action you captured in this image as well as the perch. I agree with previous comments on a lower angle. Thanks for sharing Gary.

    Good job on the whites Gary, the feather detail is second to none! Nice for you to be able to document a rare sighting :-)

    I looked at this a couple of times. I really do like it. The wing position in the front is great. Nice bg and hp.

    Well done - I like it - BG a bit dark for my personal tastes. :)
