Wow, I love birds and bird photography. This is very nice. The flash might have been a touch too bright for the white feathers and beak. Background doesn't help the shot any. Still, it's a nine in my book! Great detail! Swash
I wish this shot wasn't so good because it creates a dilemma. It's an amazing photograph, beautiful in fact. Composition, exposure and lighting are all superb. But for me, the challenge link is at best uncertain… A picture that good needs a good score, but I have to run with my challenge impression foremost… (7)
