    Krishna:

    That is one heck of a head throw! Really stretched out, like the separation between the upper and lower bill, composition.

    On my monitor I could see about -.25 exposure, but so subjective based on calibration of monitors.

    Fun image.

    Cheers

    The pose is really neat. Looks like a bird with no eyes. Framing is dead on.

    I love it. Especailly the soft blue BKGR. There is a bit of an eye there but in this case, I do not need it.
