    I like the rich color and dark bg as well as the raised wings...makes me wish I could do Florida this year.

    Nice one Sid, really nailed the exposure and color. The wings-up braking pose is excellent! Like it a lot.

    Sid:

    Another beauty, love this type of pose, dark background adds to the drama.

    I might conside toning down the bright highlight to the left of the bird in the BG.

    Cheers

    Superb timing. I love the included habitat, just the one bright spot draws my eye. Wing position is lovely.

    very nice Sid. The white spot is a distraction from an otherwise beautiful shot. I might even consider toning down the whole lighter area in the BG where that white spot is.

    Sid, you made me come find it. Nice going. I like the different background which offsets the bird nicely and the position of the feet just off the ground (not to mention the wings). Now get to work on your project and stop messing around!
