Wow what a nice wing display and colors . Wish for a head turn angle of the bird

[Daniel Cadieux]

Interesting pose. I do wish for a lower angle if it were at all possible at this location, and I find the contrast strong - the harsh light didn't help you in that regard, but either reducing the contrast or using a reverse S-curve should help with that. Does the image need a bit of CCW roatation?

Manjesh, nice pose. But as Daniel mentioned, shooting angle and light angle both are the main issues here. But at times, one cannot go low.
