    Love the wing position and catchlight. Sure is sharp. The angle is very nice. Exposure of whites are great. Super photo Denise.

    Great work, Denise! Love the low perspective. Great work on the exposure, incredible detail, and oh yeah, killer pose! I might take a little off the top, left, and bottom to position the little guy's wing into the upper-left corner as demo'd in the repost below.

    Beautiful, Denise. Cute youngster, but looks a bit disheveled. Great exposure, comp, HA, wing position, detail. Got it all. I like the original presentation, but Blake's repost is also good, concentrating a bit more on the bird without being too tight, IMO.

    In this case disheveled equals wet :) Love the perfect wing position and exposure. I like a bit of a crop from the bottom. EXP and head angle perfect.

    ps: to Bill: it is a worn, fading adult. Juvies have fine scalloping on the heads and wing coverts and all dark bills.

    Denise, this is excellent. Perfect angle and wing stretch. Great timing. Exposure spot on as usual. Just wishing the water color to be better.

    Perfect head turn and wing stretch! Excellent sharpness. I prefer the tighter crop.
