I like the environment in this frame showing the Snowy in it world - water, sand, marsh, forest and sky. 1DMK3 on 500f4 - ME, AiServo - iso400, f5.6 at 1/1600 - handheld (left the BushHawk in Vermont!) Thanks, Bob
I like the environmental aspects too, although I'd be tempted to crop some off the bottom. Great sharpness, light, and exposure. It'd also be nice if the bird weren't flying away from you. Thanks for posting!
Good detail in the white feathers. I think I'd crop from the top and bottom. The dark trees(?) on the top in particular pull my eye away from the subject. On the bottom I'd crop out the OOF stones in the water on the left bottom edge.
Great light, details, wing position and I also like the BG. As mentioned if you have some images with the bird flying toward you it would look even better. I would crop a bit tighter.
The oof landscape is more appealing to me than the bird which is flying away with a less than ideal wing position. EXP good and I do like the trees along the top.
