Really tough contrast to deal with here Troy but I think you have pulled it off. Great stop-action pose. Can't tell if the bird is landing or taking off. If the former the room you have given the bird below is IMO adequate. If it were taking off I'd give a bit more room above.

exposure is perfect with both rich blacks and whites, sharp, eye contact on top of that. What hurts this image IMHO is the near wing position which is completely flat. If you had a frame before or after would have been a killer shot.

Now I have that song stuck in my head...thanks!

Good job on the exposure on this tough shot. Great detail and comp.

[Raymond Barlow]

good one Troy, nice comp, and good job on the tones.

[Fabs Forns]

He looks like he's toe dancing, heat EXP and comp. TFS.

[Troy Lim]

Thank you all for the comments. He was just dancing like Fabs said, they do that a lot, jumped and flapped the wings.

Arash, that was the same day you were there. I went over close to the sand bar.

Sharp where it counts, with good exposure. Well captured.

Thank you Stuart.

Well done, Troy. Always see good stuff from you. Arash brings up a good point regarding the left wing.
