Hi Hendri
Very nice portrait with Great IQ & excellent lighting condition. TFS
A lovely shot. Great BG, nice exposure and tack sharp. No nits at all. Nice composition as well. Al in all a great shot,
Gail
Hendri, excellent portrait...light angle, bird angle, BG, IQ...everything looks very good. Also liking the slightly open bill.
Excellent!!! Fantastic techs!!
Wonderful image...pose, BG, techs are all right there.
I might selectively sharpen the eye just a bit to add a bit more punch to it.
Excellent pose with a good attentive stare. This is tack sharp with good detail throughout, and just love the colours of the BG. Well captured mate.

awesome pose and details, well done!

Terrific portrait on all counts. No complaints here. Congrats!![]()
Hendri:
Great character here, lovely techs, nice BG, rich colors, works very well.
My first thought was that it was just a bit too bright, but it rather adds to his impact.
Well done.
Cheers
Randy
Beautiful image Hendri! Love the color (both bird and BG), the perfect head angle, the excellent sharpness, and the open bill. Congrats!

A difficult composition handled perfectly. Ditto all of the plusses above plus, the bill detail is amazing. Was the bird wet?

Very, very nice with that gorgeous background, incredible detail and alert pose. Doesn't get any better!
Thanks for all the nice comments folks.
Yes Arty the bird was wet. Caught a fish moments before this and handed it over to the female.
Super IQ and great BG...Lovely stuff Hendri!
Thank you Dumay.
Fabulous!
Love the composition and details on this one.
Excellent image Hendri! I like the sharpness, IQ, pose and BG
