    Geir,

    Very nice pose and interesting image.
    Exposure looks fine. May be little more DOF ?

    The foam reminds me of a cloud. Good job with the exposure. A little more eye contact would have been nice. I personally don't use much ISO 100; I prefer the added flexibility I get with ISO 400 (especially on the low-noise Canon pro bodies). In this image the shallow DOF works well IMO. Maybe a little tight up top and on the left.

    I like the low angle and overall feel of this Geir. Doug has made some good points for future consideration.

    Great low angle. LIke the surf. Agree about a little more eye contact.

    Thank you for your feedback. I have been interested in birds since I was a little boy. I started taking pictures of birds for 5 years ago. The software was cheap and ISO over 100 gave noise. It is not so long ago I bought Lightroom 3 and then I see that this problem disappeared. So here after I'm going to use higher ISO. Regards Geir Jensen

    Lovely shot, thought it was in snow when viewing the thumbnail
    Only issue is just a bit more eye contact I think, other than that it looks great.

    Is find these birds so photogenic. I love the low angle and dof creating what at first looked like snow to me which of course it isn't but very nice effect. I think you got just enough eye to make this work for me especially since you got a CL .
