    Can not see much I would change. The look and the up swept feathers are too cool!

    Denise:

    Nice light, angle in frame, exposure, detail in whites. Nice DOF.

    Cheers

    I agree with the above replies. You had some very nice light and subject and took advantage of the situation.

    I second Duane's emotion. You knew what to do with that good light. Great handling of the whites. I'd have liked a lower angle.

    Sweet light and warm colours Denise. Excellent exposure, which in turn has brought out good detail throughout. Did I mention how sharp this is.:cool:

    Sure, I figured as much. It's a very fine shot.

    I'm fairly sure I know where this was taken...when I was there I was flat on my stomach with my head overhanging above the water with chin lower than it's floor - OUCH! You did very well. Awesome lighting, wow. Perhaps a tiny bit better HA would have been great (same angle as body).
