    I like this image Geir. The low angle works great and the wave is an interesting detail we usually don’t see in this type of photo. Here are a few little nits:
    - A little more DOF would put the entire bird in focus, is that important, you decide
    - There are a few dark spots on the right side, cloning them out or lightening them would make for a cleaner image if you are not agents this type of modifications

    Love the leg up, the low angle and the light. Agree with Morris on the 2 spots and would also like to see a little more room on the bottom. You have nice details here.

    Lovely shot. Great pose(leg up) and low angle. To bad you didn't have more DOF.

    Hi Geir, excellent low perspective, with a good angled pose and raised foot. I like the sharp detail, together with the pastel colour of the BG. With regards to the space at the bottom, it works as is, but could also see a little more below too.

    Excellent low angle and I like the foot up. The light is lovely. I would tone down the 2 blacks spots in BG and the specular highlight on the tip of the bill if that is palatable to you. I know you don't believe in cloning but not sure how you feel about dodging and burning!

    Thank you for your feedback. I think it is wrong for me. When someone suggests that I need to clone away anything from BG. I am not angry, I smile and think. Next time I shoot, I must do a better job of BG.

    Very nice Geir, it is great to see birds from Norway as we don't have that many photographers from Scandinavia on this forum. I like this one but I'd also love to see one with the bird parallel to the back of the camera for a full profile. I am sure you have it in your files. TFS
