Another good result with another great shot. The crop/composition is wonderful, I love the way that the feet and the wingtips are pointing to the corners. Lovely warm feel to the background with satisfying earth tones.

8 - Nice capture and composition. Criticism; difficult, perhaps some slight gamma issues in the darker areas in the background. Depending what you had to work with, 'using'/incorporating the good water element more may have given this a little extra, not sure.
Post actions
Interesting composition and great lighting.

Beautiful shot, clear focus.
Post actions
Wow, thats one crystal clear take-off! I think this would have taken some real patience on your part.
Post actions
Shame about that clump of weeds breaking the BG into such a two tone affair, but the Nice DOF doe a decent job to minimize the problem. Thw color palate works well and the exposure is very nice. The framing is the best part of the shot, with the wings and the fet all bringing in the eye from the conrners, allong the neck to the eye. The bird itself is just about nails, with the feet being prefectly picked out off the BG. One of two nines in the challenge, ought to ribbon.
Post actions
Great stuff, real calendar shot ... and I mean that as a compliment ... LOL

Post actions
EXCELLENT!!! This has blue ribbon written all over it. What a great capture. The DOF is good. Spot on focus. WOW
Post actions
I've seen these where I walk my dog. They look like dinosaurs. Great capture in the true spirit of the theme. Could use a bit more contrast to give it some more pop. Still a high scorer with me because of the sharpness, a DOF that isolates the subject very well and the incredible comp.
Post actions
Looks like he's actually taking off, but who cares... Beautiful capture! Fantastic focus & DOF. Terrific natural earthy tones. Great job.
