Nice low POV and I love the light ripple reflections on this beauty. Perhaps you could coax some more detail in the breast. Looks very slightly over sharpened? Love the water throughout. TFS

Really cool color contrast for me Bill and nice hunting shot.

Was this in the morning or evening?

Classic fishing pose with good choice of crop.
Good sharpness throughout. Perfect HA and I like the fishing bubble created by the beak

Thanks David, Brian and Gail.

Brian, this was shot in the morning, perhaps a bit less than an hour after sunrise.

Like the dark green water and the crop. Light looks nice as well.
