HI Jim

Love the BG colors and the bird. Eye contact is numero uno IMHO. So much beautiful detail too in perfect light. A truly wonderful image!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice low angle, and perfect HA. I like the brown water to blue BG transition. You may wish to lighten parts of the chest/upper belly area, and eliminate the bluish cast on parts of the plumage. The face is nicely lit.

[Attila Seprenyi]

Excellent image. Like the low angle the lights and the nice colours. Well done.

[Mike Lentz]

James, this is stunning. Love the light, low angle, fore and background. HA is spot on, detail is great. Maybe above mentioned mods would make it better, but this is a winner in my book. Congratulations.

[Stu Bowie]

Super low angle, and I like the light, detail and colours. I would maybe lighten the eye a tad James.

[Lance Peters]
