    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.

    I did not have the space below on that shot, but this was in the same series, which had room at the bottom.

    C&C welcome .

    Thanks,

    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.

    Thanks Neil. Looked a bit like the East Pond at JBWR. The version in Pane 9 is far more pleasing to my eye.
