John love the image only problem little too hot late morning.Not much we can do about that . I have been having the same problem here in Nd. The sun is already getting up high and have lost the soft light.
We have long days now and sun is coming up by six. I like the reflections of the clouds in the water. TFS

Very nice indeed good tones and details. Head angle almost optimal, I am guessing a lower angle was not practicable,

Nice looking frame.
Agree with lower POV. If mine, I would clone out the 3 little reflections lines that are the top of head.

I am enjoying the nice colors, detail, and water texture. Well composed.

Quite a lovely portrayal of what I usually think of as a homely, unattractive bird John. I like this shade of blue and wonder if it is OOC or if you adjusted it and chose this tone. It certainly works well with this lighting.
