Nice pose and head angle, Aidan. There's a slight magenta cast to it and some sharpening halos around the bird.
Thanks for sharing this one!

Aidan, Nice details and pose, the BG is lovely!Does seem to have a magenta cast.

[Arthur Morris]

Hey Aidan, Well done. I am not seeing the magenta cast here. I like the partial reflection of the legs. SH and perfect EXP.

I like the striding pose and details. I'm not sure if there is a cast, maybe it's just the light. A lower angle would have been great.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Agree about the halos, but I love it anyway, great walking pose, lovely head angle and colors as well as detail and BG. Congratulaitons!

[Aidan Briggs]

Thanks for the comments everyone. Axel: I purposely did not go for a lower angle (I was crouched) to avoid including the waves about 30 ft behind the bird.
