This image was taken yesterday at Estero. I made some slight tweaks at RAW conversion, cropped to 69% of original, resized, and applied just a touch of selective sharpening. All C & C greatly appreciated.

Well exposed with nice details in feathers. I like the reflection of the water on the AMOY's belly. That little water splash under the bill and the reflection work nicely here.
The splash and reflection work well. Sure, we'd love to have perfectly still water and a perfect reflection from time to time, but this works better I think in this situation. It looks just a tad warm to me, but it could be the warm evening light. The exposure looks pretty spot-on.
Very nice John. The light looks great as dose the subject. Exposed well and lots of nice detail. The water splash adds to the shot and the reflection looks nice. Well done.
Hey Mike - it was great to meet you at Estero! I love the silky water, warm lighting and composition with the reflection. I'm heading down to Marco Island (TT) tomorrow - maybe see you around.
