Interesting pose and I like the sand on the bill. I might be tempted to clean up the OOF spots on the left FG if it were mine.Nicely done.

great pose, bg and low angle, David. I agree with Denise, I'd either smooth out or crop off a little bit there at the bottom.

This is what I like about still photography, you chose the perfect moment to push the shutter to reveal this unique pose. Very nice detail and good exposure against the bright background.

Clean, elegant and perfect. The low angle caps the shot.

David,

While the pose is great, the low angle wonderful and the details and sharpness are excellent it is the low light that makes this work for me.

Wonderful angle; nice action. Excellent plumage and nice setting all come together for a fine image.
