    Very nice capture of an interesting bird, Geir. The pose, placement of the bird, color and sharpness are all excellent. And the touch of sharp green grass in the otherwise cool and almost ethereal background is a nice surprise.

    Very nice. It looks like the bird is on a flying carpet of grass traveling through wispy clouds. Is that water? I like the comp and just wish his head was a bit more turned towards you,

    I like it. The floating island adds a bit of mystery, and I'm glad you got the orange legs on this one. Did you select the SS to give some motion blur to the water, or is that just the result of DOF?

    Another beauty Geir! Love the" floating in clouds" feel and the way the colours of the bird really contrast with the background.

    Bird is nice and sharp and the blurred water add interest.

    Beautiful bird, nice low angle, sharp and well exposed. Foreground makes the image special. Well done.
