Superb angle Sid, and you have nailed the exposure and sharpness. The IQ in this is simply stunning. Of course his catch puts this up a notch. Congrats on a fine image.
Sid, this is a gorgeous shot. The angle of the bird, green, sand, colors, pose...everything has come together perfectly....you've exposed and composed it perfectly. loved the ultra-low shooting angle. This would have worked with a slightly higher angle too...showing the feet. If in your shoes, I'd have gone for this angle as well :-)
Excellent shot, love absolutely love the blue eye! The angle does magic for the shot and the green plants are beautifull. Two inches higher would have included the feet a bit more, but on the other hand the plants would have merged with the sandy BG in this case. I think I wouldn't want this shot any other way! Well done!
