Love the soft pastel feel as this beauty saunters. Could it maybe use a slight CCW rotation? Not sure, but love this canvas overall. TFS

The soft light makes this one for me. Framing is right on. A nice scene overall.

Nice pose, bird is not very sharp...

Hi Dan, thank you for viewing and commenting. The morning had some fog close to the water. I think that is what made the image appear soft. The active focus point was where is should be, side of neck just under the head. In this repost I added Dehaze in Lightroom to cut through the fog. This looks sharper to me.

I love the original picture. The dehazing has added yellow to the underside of the bird and made the beak a bit dark.
