I love the splayed feet! Good timing and exposure. I wonder if a further crop from the bottom would help the composition?

This made me smile,
I like the symmetry of feet and wings.
well done,

Great stall-shot. Love the splayed feet and symetry of the wings. For me, it looks like it do with a touch more contrast, just to make pop and cooling the white-balance will make the whites, white and the sea more blue.

yes, a nicely timed shot. The wing position is really nice.

Great pose and well timed image, I agree with Elliott re the colour balance needing cooling off a bit, good work none the less!
