    Wished for a green bg but found the light interesting here and liked the diagonals made by the pose.
    This was my first opportunity to photograph a stilt in Austin.
    Hope they return to this location next year.

    I like the lighting and the feather detail. I also like the diagonals created by the flight pose.
    If it were mine, I would try cropping a little from the left and the bottom to match closer to the diagonals of the frame.

    Another vote in the "like" column Sidharth. It's like a compass, with something pointing in all four directions. The blue background works very well.

    Very well exposed Sid, and I really like all the angles created by the flight posture. Overall, nice and sharp, and Im fine with the comp as is. Well captured.
