Great light, angle and details. I only wish for a slight head turn towards you.

Steve,
Great light! The image is well exposed and sharp.
This may sound silly, but I would prefer the full shadow in the frame with a touch more canvas at the bottom.
Head angle looks fine to me.
Beautiful image.

Hi James. Good points about the shadow and room at the bottom. I would just say that at that time of day, the shadow can stretch out a looong ways. :)

Love it! The sprinkling of shells is a nicely included element. Great light, and excellent low angle. Man, this guy really posed sqaure to you...you can't ask for a more parallel position to the sensor plane :-)

Gorgeous lighting and detail in this shot Steve, nice low angle too.

Lovely bird in sweet light....but I agree about the shadow...with simple compositions like these it are the little details that make the difference.

Light and exposre are great as is the comp. Gotta love the low angle. It makes the shot.
