Jay:

The colors in the bg harmonize well with the feet, nice look back pose, soft light has really helped with the keeping the water and bg from being overpowering.

From a compositional standpoint, I like the birds placement, but would prefer his head to be looking to the right, or possible a slightly different crop with more to the left, less on the right.

Cheers

Thanks Randy, just behind the bird the locals used the shoreline as a garbage dump! :-(

Jay:

Figured something like that. Do you have any frames with him looking to the right?

:-( Nope!

Nice pose of this bird I have never seen posted.
