    Full frame. Is it too top heavy?

    All comments appreciated.
    Thanks

    Gorgeously sharp, great color, and I love the shallow DOF. If it were me I'd crop from the top about halfway to the head. I'd love to see more of the reflection -- did you get any with it included?

    Nice shot Sid. Love the colors and the detail on this sweet shot. Looks like perfect crisp early morning light. The eye ring looks great as it really pops off the screen.
    Maybe just a bit off the top but I can see why you left it that way, the great BG. Nice work

    Beautiful image, Sid. Love the colors, the bit of habitat and the wonderfully sharp bird. I think that the composition is perfect, but you know me, I do like space.

    Thanks all. Appreciate the feedback. Diane, Vishal - I'd have loved a full reflection too. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of muck further down that made it less appealing/effective.

    This is beautiful. Only thing I'd change is cropping a little off the top as you and a couple others mentioned. The colors and IQ are fantastic.

    Hi Sid, killer IQ and light, and pretty much nailed the sharpness too. Your low angle has turned out nicely, and I do love the softer colours in the overall image.
