Working the pool....

Good details on the plumage, and I like the sharp area of water around the face and legs. Feeding pose is OK, good to see the eye even though closed. That brown smudge along the bottom is unfortunate. You could always crop it out, but then you'd need to also crop some off the top for as more pano ratio to re-balance the comp. To my eye it looks like a bit of CCW rotation is also needed. You worked that Willet well!

Classic willet feeding pose and in nice light. The bird is nice and sharp. Really like how the background and water just blen together.

Love the still blue water and the bird. I am fine with the brown blob since it is nicely o-o-f. As presented I'd take some off the top to go back to 3X2. An open eye would have been a plus. Looks technically perfect.
