Hi John,

Very nice low angle and head pose. The open beak is a nice pose. I would remove some of the white/black spots in the top right!!

Keep them coming!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Good-looking specimen, details and exposure control. Might work as a vertical crop, too, and a lower angle would have made it even better.

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice specimen of a bird I've never seen. Open bill is a plus.

[Arthur Morris]

All noted above. Excellent head angle and great exposure control. It is easy to blow those pink OC legs...
