    Lovely, Manos - I really like the warm light behind the bird and the raised leg. Wondering how this would look as a square crop as with the pose the bird doesn't need too much room to look into.

    Interesting high key image. Would like to see a bit more room top, right, and bottom. I love the effect by the feet. The face details need to be a bit denser. I also like the posture and the backlight.

    Really nice Manos, though I agree that it could do with a little more room as suggested by Artie. The effect by the feet looks cool, but has that been achieved in PS or as the image was taken (it looks to me like you've removed the BG in post-processing)...I could be very wrong but am curious as to how you achieved that look.

    Cheers, Dean

    Would go for a square corp and love the high key look !!! A slight head twist would have show the face area even better Impressive and like it a lot !!!!

    White against white. You have exposed and processed this perfectly Manos. Love the raised foot, and if I had one tiny nit, it would be to add a bit to the bottom. Well captured.

    Manos, this is very nice indeed. High key look with the translucent beak, and the raised right foot makes for a great pose. I'm not sure how you isolated the feet from the beach, but it works very well here.
