Geir:
Great shooting angle, very intimate look. Simple, almost stark image, like the little color added from the kelp? Like the pose of the rear foot.
I could see lightening the face just a tiny bit. I might also consider a version with a crop up from the bottom of about 1/3 of the foreground.
Cheers

Geir,
Love the low angle & its food clinging to its beak. I would have liked a bit more light on the eye area. Rest everything is fabulous.

Love the pose and starkness of the image agree with others on a lighting the area around the eye.

Awesome low angle, and I like the vegetation picking behaviour. I too could see this with less room below, and I would have preferref the heaqd not angled away. Fill-flashed would have helped here IMO.
very nice image Geir,good low angle,like the veg,agree on lightening the area round the eye.thanks.
Hey geir,
Lightening the area around the eye will really make this shine! Very well done!
The DOF is a killer and the soft light and colours is great !! Subject is sharp and well exposed. A super IMG !
