[Julie Brown]

Lovely light.

[Leo Berzins]

Great pose and background.
I just wish the face was slightly better lit.

[Hilary Hann]

Love the tonal range, the whole image works for me.

[Stu Bowie]

Great wingspread Al, and I like the soft light, and pastel colour of the BG. I would maybe have given him a little more room on either side, and taken a tad off the bottom. Great timing for the landing.

[Kiran Poonacha]

loved the effect acheived here bhai, its like a painting..

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely photo Alfred.
Very elegant and the soft colours are excellent.

[Lorant Voros]

Beautiful pose and light. What I like most about it is the mood of the picture. Very artistic. Maybe a bit tight?

I loved it when I saw it on your monitor and love it here. Very dramatic pose and good use of flash.
If it disappears from your drive, you know where it is :)

[Nancy A Elwood]

Al what else could I add! A stunner! That light is just awesome.

[Trivedi Vatsal]

Beautiful image! I liked the pose of the bird & light here!

[Troy Lim]

I like the dreamy feel to this shot. I am starting to learn how to use flash to help eliminating shadows.
Good shot.

[Michael Wolf]

Superb image with a dream-like quality. This would make a great painting as well!

[niranjan sant]

[Juan Aragonés]

Killer image and b¡very artistic Al. The effect of the flash light is fantastic and I love the wing position. Did you tried to increase saturatioon of the orange water, just a bit? I think it could works but I like it a lot in the way yuo posted it :-)

[Chris van Rooyen]

Hmmm....really striking, great use of flash. I agree with a slight saturation of the orange.
