Early morning at Ding Darling. The sun was still low, but reflecting bright off the water. I'm a bit unsure about how to crop this one. Plenty of additional canvas available to left and right.

All comments welcome.

Hey Mike, Great to see you hear. This is very nicely done. Love the pose and the trailing feet. The head could use a bit of sharpening and I would like to see some more room in front of the bird. Like the ripples in the water too.

Agree with sharpening and more room. I really like the wing "flaps" opened like those of a landing airplane's wing :-)

Very graceful wing spread. Really like the blue rippling water too.

Well done on the wing position and th whites against that ripple water blue BG not superb. Agree with Artie's suggestion on sharpening and more room in front.

Very sharp and great details in the wings. Agree about leaving a little more room in front.
