Nick like the upright wings and the skimming the surface. I feel that the bird is a bit to small in the frame. If this is not a big crop, try get in closer TFS
Nick, well exposed, as the eye is nice and clear, and good to capture the wings in the upright position. I have a hunch this needs a slight CCW rotation.
I like the bird's size in the frame - but I agree the image is very small as posted. I'd like a tad more room above, and I agree with Stuart for the need for some CCW rotation.
P.S. Good exposure, and looks like we can see a bit of the breeding plumage yellows close to the "armpit"!
Thanks guys. Very slight crop to take a bit off the top so almost full frame. Working on full frame (or very close) images, so crop wouldn't be a problem on this. That CCW rotation I still don't see but will play with it. Thanks again!
