Hey Denise, lovely sharp feather detail, and I like the lazy pose. Your comp works perfectly. Well done.

[Jim Donato]

Very good exposure and composition Denise, like the BG and color scheme. I will try to clone that water drop in one of the feather near the center, I think it disrupts in some way the flow of the feathers pattern to my eyes. But this is personal taste.

I like the perch, mood and eye contact. The bird looks a bit oversharpened on my monitor.

Like the COMP and the mussels and the d-o-f. I imagine that you will be camping out by the jetty soon in a tent....

Thanks all for your comments. Much appreciated.:)

Camping by the jetty? sounds like a good idea:)
