Wonderful capture on this, the wing-span, of
course, just is the star of the show. And, the
mouth open like that lends ear, and lets your
imagination take hold to the sounds of nature coming
at you. Very nice..

Well, the shot is just perfect. It's very difficult to catch birds with their wings wide opened so that's an additional reason to congratulate you.

I know the feeling to get a shot like this one. You are truly a professional and I can't find anything I don't like about it. Even the rule of thirds is good.

Great work! What a captured moment! Awesome work. The pose is so magestic and I love the stormy sky in the background. Keep up the great work.

awesome capture! I wish I would know a bit more about the capture itself. The colors could be Hued and saturated a bit more, otherwise amazing!

Wow I like this one a lot! Outstretched wings, obviously cawing its brains out, very good catch you made here, great job!

Interesting work here, it looks 3D, almost as if the bird were pasted into the photo. The only change here that I might suggest would be to correct the horizon in so that your ocean is not slanted downward on the left.

great subject, wildlife is always great for interesting shots especially when you capture a moment in action. how ever your photography will come foward 10 fold if you learn more about light and how it can work for you in a photo. not that I know much about your other work. But it would definatly make a differance to this art work.

Beautiful photo and how nice to be able to catch him spreading his wings. This photo has nice details and the scenery is pretty too, even though its cloudy.

What a great capture. It is so crisp and sharp with detail. The color of the sky and the rocks really makes the birds colors stick out. Pefect position of the bird.
What a great photo!
