Kind of liked the action of this bird. It appeared very animated and full of life.

Perfect detail and exposure and the DOF is spot on.

I really like the action in this Micheal. The shot actually looks a little underexposed on my monitor, but I might just be seeing things. Still, I might brighten it a touch. I love the action and playfulness of the Great White in this shot. Nice work!

Great pose, Michael. It may be my monitor, but it looks like this could use a bit of a brightness boost. :toast:

What a great shot. I like how the bird is walking into the frame. Looks like the bird is using his outststretched wings to balance.

Michael,
Very nice pose and the detail in the wings is super. I tend to like them a little dark so it is perfect for me.
Thanks for your kind words on my Tidal Humor post. Like you I did not get the shot that I wanted but I did get a funny one.
