    Love the soft light and the detail on this image. The background and the low angle are very good too.

    I really like the soft muted light on the bird, the bg is excellent and the little wave at his feet is pretty neat.

    Fantastic pose and open beak. Love the soft light and vertical comp. Do agree with a little more room at the bottom but still works nicely as posted TFS

    Lovely light and very well done on the exposure. I really like the nice soft colours. Agree with the comment about a bit more room on bottom and not sure why but it seems to me a bit of ccw rotation would be better.

    Thank you all, I do wish I have more room on the bottom. I tried to balance it, will try to add canvas and see how realistic I can make it when I have some time.

    How nice for you that he was preening all morning. I like his open beak and the pretty light on him.

    great light and IQ...Super BG. Feels to me it needs a minor CCW rotation! Foot room not a deal breaker for me!
