    Great pose and low angle here. Good HA too. Some of the whites look a tad bright to me.

    Mital:

    Very effective, low shooting angle.
    Neat foot up striding pose.
    Nice BG.

    Whites look good on my monitor except perhaps the tibials are a bit warm.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Beautiful low angle capture; great alert pose with raised leg. Lovely background. I wonder what it would look like if the whole bird were just a tiny bit darker? But good shot in any event.

    Nice all around from my view point Mital. Did you use flash? - there seems to be a second highlight in the eye and I would consider eliminating the small one. Love the BG, lifted leg and HA.

    I think it could go a teeny bit darker overall, but strong image. Good low angle, pose, water, BG. Well done!

    Your low angle is worthy of mention, as is your good exposure (could be darker, as Daniel said, but at least you haven't blown any details). I like the walking pose.

    thanks all for ur kind suggestion. this is pure natural light as the winter is on peak and at the coastal area i was the light was just on direct contact with cold so soft not harsh and pure gold.

    Nice pose and low angle. The upraised foot is a nice element to have in this image.
