With envy in my heart I do believe that you posted some better ones way back then. The slightly dirty chin leaves this one a notch below. Still super sharp with a perfect EXP and of course a killer bird.

Excellent exposure, pin sharp, and just love that eye. I remember you being over the moon at capturing this fellow.
And I can imagine why you were over the moon. Beautiful bird and your exposure is something to teach. Like everything about it. Would be nice of there was more separation between the bill and the water drop, so it couldn't be seen as dirt. Very well done, Axel.
Stunning portrait Axel. Love the whites and the beautiful BG.
