Light appears a little harsh, but you made the best with it. Love the pose!

[David Fletcher]

Not easy from a boat Ken. Light is harsh but the pose is excellent!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose, hairdo and eye contact. I find that the BG competes a bit with the bird.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I don't fin light all that harsh actually, but I do think that BG is too bussy, nice pose and detail on the bird. Congratulations.
