    I really like this pose but I would like to see more room at the bottom for the "feet" and possibly better comp as it would make the bird look more dramatic with less space at the top ? Maybe thats just me.

    On my calibrated monitor, the whites look rather warm, but the black background really makes like this a lot.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you Dustin.
    I wish I have more room on the bottom, it is sand bar. I tried to keep them proportion to the std print size. I tried with the sand bar, did not like it.

    Sweet pose and fine job on exposure. The head on stare makes this for me.

    Very nice exposure control Troy. Big fan of high contrast images.

    An interesting pose with the direct eye contact. I am fine with the composition with the direct look the center presentation works for me. Your exposure and colors look very good to me. The details in the whites and red look spot on in my opinion. I agree with Sid that the contrast of black background and white bird makes for a pleasing image. Well done and thanks for sharing.
