Nice light, and I love the low angle.

Lovely light as you said and I like how the BG, bird and sand are all complementary in color to each other. Sharpness looks good as does feather detail. Only wish the beak was clean but I'm sure he just forgot to wipe his face after dinner.:D Congrats

Love the flat on the ground look Aidan ... special !!!

Excellent feel and tones Delicate and beautiful Might only want the bird slightly more turned to have the beak all on the bg ... same thing happened to mine up top from this one :) !!! Sweet image !!!

[Wayne Wood]

I agree about the tones, very pleasing image, wish for a bit of a head turn away but still a wonderful image

[Connie Mier]

Beautiful light and sweet looking bird, especially with the sand on its beak.

[Raymond Barlow]

very pretty image, well exposed, and the low angle is sweet.

[Aidan Briggs]

Thanks all for the comments. I also wish for a better head and body angle, but this was the only decent pose I got.

[Arthur Morris]

Way to go Aiden. This is one of your very best. The sweet light, low anlge, and SH are all superb.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Beautiful One.. loved the low angle and light here... congrats..

[Stu Bowie]

Its all about the light, and late afternoon light produces the goods too. Super low angle, excellent exposure, and love the overall detail in this. I would maybe lighten the eye a tad. Still, well captured Aidan.

Love the lighting, background and the ever so soft texture.
