Hi Myer Image held very well with the high ISO !!!! Good exposure and PS work, about the only think that would make it better is being on the ground. Will give you a totally different perspective !!! ... btw can darken the bill (black stripe) and lighten the eye a bit !!!

Alfred
Thanks I did lighten the eye but will lighten it some more and darken the bill

[Myer Bornstein]

Here is the picture re-adjusted C&C please :D

Repost really helps bring out the eye and the bill. I like the foam, and the raised foot. Lower angle would have been great, if possible.

[Alfred Forns]

Does make a difference I like it !!!! btw hope you can get some of these guys in full breeding plumage with the mouth open ... spectacular birds !!!

i'm going for these guys this afternoon!! hoping to get the breeding colors. repost does look better. more impact. there is also a dust bunny in the upper right.

Repost does look heaps better - a low shooting angle will transform this - just dont get your gear wet.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Hi Myer....Like the repost...surprising how little things matter....Your exposure looks right on with nice whites and good blacks. I also like the foam!
