I saw fellow New Jerseyan, Bill Dix, post a Mute Swan, so I thought I would throw in another one to show off what we have in the Garden State.
Canon 7D, 500mm, F4, 1/1600, iso200, manually exposed. C&C appreciated and thanks for looking.

Love the positioning in the frame making the most of the splendid BG, I agree with Arash on the need for more room at the bottom.
Neil:
Well done in all regards, but would be even better with bit more below {as mentioned by Arash and Ken)
The shooting angle is superb.
Cheers

I agree and would add a bit to the bottom. I'm getting a slight color cast on my monitor - a bit magenta.
A Very pretty photo and should be an easy fix to add a bit at bottom. I really like the size of the bird in the frame. Well done.
Everyone above is getting too smart :). Love the soft light and the blue/green combo.

You add some room below and its a winner. Killer super low shooting angle. Subject angle, head angle, light angle...nailed everything. Liked this one a lot.
Neil, most of us use our full names as logins here.
I did not have the space below on that shot, but this was in the same series, which had room at the bottom.
Art: These were taken between the forks on the NJ Turnpike (Meadowlands area).
C&C welcome .
Thanks,

Love the repost N! this is sweet and lovely light and the cool tones on water makes it very special, where you shooting from the water?
Juan, no I was on a small slice of land that goes way out into the water and actually goes under water during some high tides.
