Very nice action, Bill. Wish you had a little more room at the right. It may need a bit CCW rotation..

I like how you cropped the reflection Got a good looking bird and pose Just got to look for better surrounding water It does not complement the bird Would also saturate/darken the eye then a pass of usm !!! Doing well Bill !!!! btw sometimes from a low angle you can get a niece looking bg in this conditions !!!

Gotta love those water drops. You could probably darken / bur the water a little, but it doesn't bother me all that much as is.

I second the motion for a little bit of selective work on the eye.

[Bill Foxworthy]

I can darken/sharpen the eye no problem. It was a pleasure to watch this bird work. Stomping its feet to scare minnows out. This is is from about 20+/_ yards out, almost full frame and I have darker images that accentuate the eye, I just liked this one. Can you now repost an image here on BPN? :)

Nice pose and light. I agree on the CCW rotation and more room at the right. I would also apply some NR on the BG.
