I really like the wave and the color of the wave. One can feel the crash of the wave coming. I wish for a better head angle on the near bird. The crouched pose of the birds add to the anticipation of the wave crashing over the birds,

the angle is great, a very dinamic photo, you use the bkg very good giving to the ambient dinamism

Love the setting - I mean the wave, jux bird, BG colours and the low angle make for an interesting image. I would have loved the near bird to have a better HA, even the same HA of the behind bird. Did you have to get up and run?

[Brendan Dozier]

Love the feel and POV to this image, very unique and interesting, so not as concerned with HA. Nice one, Geir!

I love the tension in this image: the birds ready to take off, the seaweed being sucked into the curl of the wave and also the colors. The birds look too contrasty to me. I did not pull this into PS but the image also looks a bit underexposed. I wish that the back bird was in focus . This is a concept that I would work on if I were you as the idea is quite nice.

[Arthur Morris]

Excellent comments and critiques above. The BLACKs are a bit too black and the image a bit dark and contrasty, almost muddy. I am sure that you could do better starting from scratch. Love the concept!

The color palette here is so pleasing to me, I just love that sea green. I do agree that it would be great to have that second bird in focus too. Still, a very beautiful shot.
