    Alan:

    Lovely, nice pose, just the right amount of environment without distracting from the bird, good techs.

    The only minor thing I might consider is a very slight vignette of the two lower corners.

    Cheers

    Excellent exposure and sharpness. Nice calling pose. Like the sense of habitat. I don't mind that the feet aren't visible.

    Alan, stunning as always. Low angle makes all the difference. I am guessing you set up the mound...great job if that's correct. blacks are terrific and so is the calling pose and vertical comp.

    Excellent detail and sharpness, and the visible tongue from the calling pose, puts this up a notch.

    The mound was natural. Thanks.
