How does this look?

Hi.
It looks ok to me. White balance looks just about spot on, and a nice bit of feather detail showing in the wing.

Could do with a slightly lower angle imo, but otherwise that's well taken.

Thanks...tried to keep the feathers in but get the whiteness...

Cheers

On the bank I was on, I couldn't get lower, but I do see your point.

Cheers.

Now that is a poor excuse. For the sake of your art, you could have got in the water

Haha...yes. On the way home from work in my suit

Agree with Joe's comment but everything else looks fine,

A good capture Craig, the wb looks good to me but the highlights are blown imo.

Cracking shot, love the detail on the head & neck.

Have to agree exsp around the base of the neck,

Nice shot but I agree it looks as though a tad less exposure would have been better.

Thank you...I am quite pleased with the composition and so on.

I'm not sure the highlights are blown completely, though. I can still see detail all over on my screen...it is very very close, however, so I can see that with a screen calibrated a tiny bit differently detail might be gone.

Many thanks for the input.

I will take the whites down a touch and see what we get, however, I was aiming for white as can be without loss of detail. Must be a close call, I think.

Thanks for your input.

Looks good to me, exposure seems spot on.
