Great dynamic capture. Bird seems sharp for that relatively low SS. I wish I had some experience with this great species; I assume that low profile is his aggressive posture. I can see a series of cloning repeats in the water, but probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned the canvas addition which forced me to scrutinize.

Thanks Bill.
Yes I did have a bit of a problem with it. Probably should have left well alone with the bird more to the right where it was.
Cheers
