Bonnie, This is a pleasing image of this good looking individual. I feel as if there is a bit too much empty space on the right side and there is some evidence of processing in the upper right corner.

Thanks, Grace! Oops! I took a line out at the last minute and was a little hasty in posting!

What a handsome Bonaparte's that you have exposed so nicely. Yes to a bit of trim on the right. Perfect pose and head turn towards you.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love this species! Perfect HA as pointed out. I'm OK with the comp, but there is a very faint reflection in the upper part of the eye that I would enhance to give it more "life".

[Doug Brown]

A bit more life in the eye and you've got yourself one fine image Bonnie! I might clone out the stick submerged in the water just in front of the bird.
