    Karl:

    Sharp, well exposed, nice angle in frame, drops, good shooting angle, all good.

    I think Willets are under appreciated because they are a bit drab until they open their wings!

    Cheers

    Very nice wings!
    I agree with Randy, wing photo's make a huge difference with these.
    Well done.

    Nice shot of the willets wings. Funny how you wouldn't know if they didn't open em up how cool they are.

    Hi Karl, well timed for the touch down, and the underwing shows off the colours and detail nicely. I like the clarity of the water, and the shadow shows that you were positioned nicely to get the shot.

    Karl, this is beautiful! I like this one much better than your previous one (although I do like wingstrecthes). Great open wing, and sharp everywhere it needs to (face!) I would only wish for more room below as the subject feels low in the frame IMO.

    very nice pose, I like the water drops, a lower angle would be even better if possible

    Wonderful shot. I really like the wing position, exposed well, and excellent feather detail.
    Well done.
