    Hi Mike,
    Great image. Low angle, smooth background, good looking bird and sharp at 1/100.
    Congratulations.

    I like the high key effect especially since it still retains good color in the Godwit. Nice head turn and the water drop at the bill's end is excellent.

    Very nice! sharpness, BG, exp, head angle, all good! I might crop off of the right side a bit to improve the comp, IMO:)

    I really really like this shot!! The high key BG works well and sets a very artistic mood IMHO.
    I agree that cropping from the bottom right corner would balance the composition a bit more.

    Really a nicely done image, Mike! The low perspective and eye contact is what does it for me.

    Pin sharp, and love the low angle in this. He really stands out against the lighter BG. Great capture Mike.

    Lovely clean image! Superb low angle, light and DOF.
    Love the muted tones of the BG. Well done
