Last week at Pine Point, MA. Processed on small laptop; removed some BG debris. C&C appreciated.

Bill:

I like the shooting angle, neat foot pose, angle of bird in the frame, exposure and colors. Comp works for me.

Cheers

This is really nice. Love the low angle and raised leg.

[Stu Bowie]

Great low angle, and I like the raised foot. Also good to see the mud on the bill. Nice and sharp too.

[Nico Steenberg]

I like the foot up pose and comp. The colours and exposure is nailed against a killer DOF.

[Arthur Morris]

I like the low angle and the raised foot. Even lower would have been better here as the dark line through the upper part of the leg is a distraction. EXP and SH good. A bit more room all around would work for me.

[Bill Dix]

Thank you all for the kind and helpful comments.

Bill, Very nice pose and the raised foot is sweet the way it's pointed outward. I like the color tones of the water and the details and exposure look good. I like seeing the sandy pools of water and the curved dark line of water that follows the underbelly works for me.

as the experts already suggested the improvements nothing much left to say except i like this image very much .. I love 80-400 :)

Thanks Denise and Mital.
