Hello Philip
I like this a lot, the low angle and complimentary colours coupled with the wing stretch make it an interesting and very agreeable image.
Best wishes
Phil

Shame he isnt stretching the other wing but still a pleasing portrait

Nice one Phillip,
Well detailed and interesting pose.
Would have been a bonus if the sand wasn't so churned up, so you had a better chance at the feet also, but still a very nice shot of this chap.

Hi Phillip
A really nice pose and strong image especially considering the sun was very high. I would be tempted to enhance the highlight, that said I really like it!
Hi Phillip, in a perfect world the sand may have been a bit smoother, but I like it anyway as I am quite often drawn to images made up of mainly different shades of the same colour as in this case

I agree that the surroundings are a bit busy and despite the somehwat harsh light you got a very good image here!
