    Great open beak, eye contact and wing position Kirsten! Sharpness is excellent, as is the exposure. Like the composition also. I think I'm running out of things to like! I might try to remove the shadow of the near leg but nothing else. Well done!

    PMP. Pretty much perfect. You made the very best of a great opportunity. The BKGR is killer as is the rest of the image.

    I like the up swept wings a lot and the open beak is special. As was mentioned, the BG is a killer.
