    First morning light, Nikon D2x 500mm 1/800 f4 ISO200 WH under camo cover.
    Thank you for looking and I will appreciate all critique.
    Hope it's not too dark on your monitor.

    Hi Haim,

    The dark gives this image a very nice habitat feeling. You did well keeping the subject sharp and low shutter speed. Overall, I like it.

    Intersting image.Would have liked it if the bird was coming into the frame rather than leaving it. The lighting is good the drops of water enhance the image. Did you try a vertical crop?

    I like the white bird against the darker BG, maybe a better angle to reduce the shadows on the tops of the wings. I would also prefer the bird to be coming towards the camera. Overall, the darker colour sets a nice mood.

    Well done and good job with the head turn. I would crop out the ripples on the bottom and then some from the left.

    later and love, artie
