    Good work Gayle! Whites are controlled and there seems to be plenty of detail in the blacks too. Like the water and the reflection. I might crop a little off the right of the frame.

    Hi Gayle, This is an excellent image. Love all the green reflections, the bird perfectly SQ to the imaging sensor, and the perfect head angle. He needed to molt in just a few more black feathers on his face...

    Hi Gayle,
    I'm with the crop group (go figure)..........but I would take some of the reflection off..........as it's not smooth.......and crop proportionally off the right.........these are personal preferences though.............so as presented it is very nicely done!

    Fantastic all around. I like the composition a lot with such a great reflection on the water and that fantastic emerald green background. Well done
