Well, you are obviously hanging out on the wrong site , as I think it is a good picture, with a excellent pose, angle in frame, well exposed. Not a common bird either.
I like seeing the feet in the water.
A bit tight on the left side, and for my taste, I would crop up to just above your sig on the bottom. I might very slightly soften the shadows on the breast created by the light angle from your left a bit.
Cheers

Great pose on this one, Dennis, with good exposure in fairly harsh light. Nice blue BG with ripple effect. First thing is that your image needs some CW rotation. If you bring a ruler down from your bird's chest down to its reflection, you will notice they don't match. Next I would crop to above your signature line as Randy mentioned to where the black and white feathers begin. I would then a little space on top and more on the left to make room for those lovely flapping wings.

I think it is a great shot; sharp and good exposure. I think these are lovely birds. I like the ripple in the water and the reflection and feet showing. I would be very happy with this photo.

Thanks for your kind comments Marina; they are much appreciated. I am not clear on what you mean by needing some CW rotation. If I rotate the image clockwise, the chest will move right, and the reflection will move left. How will that make them match? Can you elaborate? Thanks !
Best regards,
Dennis
