Way cool. Love the way the bird's body is centered against the strip of marsh and even the light from the left shadow adds to the COMP.

Nice one Freddy... Going thru some old trip files I see !

[Steve Canuel]

Love the layer BG. As Artie pointed out, even the shadow from the left wing is perfectly placed to add to the layering effect. I also like the colors of this one.

that's a beauty, fredster!!! wished it was in my collection!!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, BG, details and pose. The only thing I would do is remove the dark band at the top.

[Alfred Forns]

Excellent Freddy I like how the head is framed within the green. Light on the bird is very nice and soft Love the image !!!

Hi Freddy,
Very nicely done! Didn't really notice the top dark strip until Axel mentioned it...but I agree. Will only make it perfect.

[DanWalters]

Love the colors and the comp on this image. Very sharp also.

Fred, This is stunningly beautiful. I actually like the dark band at the top.
