Down by the seaside - light wasn't all that kind to me - made the best of it.

Nicely composed and executed Mr. Peters,
I like the framing and the bird's slanted position. You have good sharp details and a good head angle and sharp, clear eye...the color rendition on this little guy is superb, I like the ultra low capture angle...the soft background compliments him very well...:cool:

Gus said everything I was going to about your image. Except, Big time congrats my friend.
Stay well

Wow, Gus did say everything! Never got the pleasure of seeing one of these guys in person-their beaks appear to be very vibrant! How do you always get their catch in mid-air? Nice!!!

[Ilija Dukovski]

That bill color/eye color is just amazing. I like it a lot.
Midair action adds a nice detail.


Cheers, Ilija

Nice capture Lance! Nice feather detail. I would back off a little on the saturation on the beak and eye though.

Did well with the light Lance. Love the catch in mid-air. Nice detail in the blacks.
