Great pose, exposure control, water colors and details. I like the slightly wider crop.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Love it, love the comp, the reflection, the light and colours, also I love the little wave in the chest of the bird! Congratulaitons!

[Maxis Gamez]

Lovely Glenn.

[Stephen Stephen]

Glenn it looks as if you had the 50D half submerged. Great low angle and sharp details and colours.

[Leroy Laverman]

Really lovely image. Good control of the black and white point in hard light (always a trick to manage that). Composition is nice as well. Good job.

[Raymond Barlow]

nice one Glenn, you sure have the great location out west.

[Bill Sharkey]

Great shot Glenn, nice and sharp too.
