    I like this image very much. Agree on whites. The OOF covers are taking my eyes from the eye but still nice.

    The sharpness, the low angle and the nice soft light are all just great. I like it a lot.

    Whites do appear on the hot side.

    Beautiful bird and settings and I have two comments

    A) As mentioned, the whites do appear hot.

    B) The focus is great on the head but trails off towards the tail. I likely would have gone with a touch more DOF.

    Excellent in every way. Wonderful low angle, great pose and a superb composition with excellent exposure and detail. Love it and many thanks for sharing.

    Excellent clean shot of this little guy! The cleanness makes this shot for me, like the headturn, and exposure!

    Gorgeous! Nothing else to say. I see a little details in the whites!

    A beauty for sure!! Yes the whites are pushing in the nape area, but man-o-man this is awesome! Even the smoothly ondulating ground is appealing!

    The repost is fantastic. Terrific eye details and great sharpness. The low angle is to die for and I would like to see just a little more of DOF
