The deep water ripples add to a beautifully lite image Vivaldo... great IQ

[Mike Milicia]

Great pose and eye contact with beautiful water and BG!
My first thought was that the bird seemed a bit too gray (I'm assuming it's a white bird).
But if you selectively brightened it, you might lose some of the impact of the water reflections on the bird so I think I like it as is.
Might add a bit more room on the bottom if you have it.

Super nice low angle, great eye contact and I like the colors. I wish the shore in the BG wouldn't cross the head. I like the feel of this image very very much.

[Karl Egressy]

Beautiful bird, great IQW and nice light, Vivaldo.

I'm of course a big fan of your low angle, Vivaldo, and the sideways look at you and that soft light make for a special image. I also like the water around the front leg, and the layered background.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low angle, HA, sharpness, BG and water reflection on the bird. Excellent image Vivaldo!

[gail bisson]

I really like the water ripple shadows on the body and the little wave in front of the leading leg.
Nice layered BG and low POV.
I like the coy look the HA suggests,
Gail

A beautiful serene image, sharp right down to the little "bow wave " from the foremost leg...simply lovely

[Frank Schauf]

Nice composition and excellent expsoure control and sharpness.
