looks good, I like dynamic pose and soft lightning, in a perfect world the BG would have been more interesting

EXP, details, pose, framing and BG all spot on for me. PMP TFS

ps
Love the beak shadow on tail...

[Dorian Anderson]

Detail is fantastic, especially on the feet. We can see you lighted the shadows on the underwing a bit, but I think you nailed the exposure as well as you could given the high contrast subject. Love the splayed primaries as well. Yeah, a graded BG would be more interesting, but this is still a very strong pose on the blue.

Bill, really cool approach shot here.

Tip-to-tip focus and a mean stare to top it off.

Nicely captured!

Been doing them for four straight mornings :). This one is pretty much perfect. Would not mind a bit more room above (and right or both sides???)

with love, artie
