Great low angle image Al. The preening pause is nice. I would place the bird more to the left side of the frame since it is looking to the right.

I love the low angle and the pose. I think I would have cropped it differently - feels liek too much space ont he left to me (especially since he is looking left).

You sure were low down in that muck. Great pose and the OOF tail doesn't really bother me.

Wow -- great pose you got out of this little beauty, Alfred. Love it.

Always lots of fun seeing so many NSN'ers get this dirty. :wink:

I love the angle! :wink: Great details as well. A bit tight for me and I wish for more room at the bottom and right and a bit less to the left. :wink:

Great low angle. I agree with the others who wished for the bird further left.

The cropping suggestions are right, otherwise a very fine shot.

I love to see the preening shots as they provide so much more detail. Looks like this one's a model who has just come down the runway and is giving the audience a little head toss!!!!
