beautiful composition,angle and pose!!!

Lovely light, and low angle. I like the tight crop. Is the catchlight natural? It is so perfectly round it almost looks fake.

Well done!

Very nice strong diagonal formeed by the face. Spotless EXP and very well composed. Love ethe water breaking on the body.

Good job Aidan, you are correct, that is my added catchlight. I guess I need to work on that.

I like this a lot. The colors, the details in the feathers and the portrait shot. Catch light mentioned and I would take the sheen from the end on the bill. Just jealous it not mine. Thanks for sharing. John

Alan the whole image looks so freaking stunning that everything looks too good to be natural (in the good way) IMO the catchlight looks very nice and goes very well with the whole aesthetics and textures of the shot. Just... congratulations!
