    Hi Mike Love the low angle and light Image is very clean and appealing The separation between the bird and seaweed is good Looks sort of comical him standing there

    Normally I would it is overpowering the bird but in this case I do like it as presented If anything would take some of the top Big Congrats !!!

    Great colors and low angle. I'd either add more canvas at right or crop at left to make the space between bird and frame equal to the space between weeds and frame. Although I like the balance offered by said vegetation I kinda wish it wasn't such a tangled heap.

    Hi Mike ! Great low angle and the lighting is wonderful. In this image the seagrass works well but I agree with Alfred that sometimes it is overwhelming.. Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice compositon her Mike. I might also be tempted to trim a bit off the top as Al has suggested.

    I agree with the others, more off the top. Other then that, great image.

    Hey Mike, You are getting it! For me, the framing is perfect. A bit off the top would not hurt, and a bit denser/darker would be better. (Thanks to Blakie-boy I just checked my brightness calibrator at the bottom of each BPN page.) Laslty I would QM out some of the white distractions as below.

    later and love, artie

    Great angle, light and setting. I would just crop a bit off the top.
