This is brilliant :smile:
Composition, colours, exposure and a bit of wing blur thrown in too, excellent.
Well done Guy.

Geoff.

Hi Guy, a pose that really does highlight the texture and complexity of the wings & body. The BG also works well and depicts the environment rather than these 'studio' BGs :wink: Might be tempted to take out the blue patch bottom lh corner just to have a more uniform lower half?

You must have one of the 100-400 that works, LOL.

Excellent shot with great dynamic movement in wings and tail :toast: I would agree with Steve re blue patch, but then it depends on your view of things of course.

Nice shot Guy, love the out of focus background

Nice one Guy, I love the curves in the tail and the wing blur; they give a sense of life to the picture. I think I'd just give the eye a little touch or two with the dodge tool if it were mine just to give a bit more life to the eye.

Nice one Guy,

I like the mix of sharp where it needs to be and blurred wings enhancing the movement. Good colours as well.

Cheers

Austin

Great shot. I didn't notice the pool on the left until I read Steve and Jules's comments.
