    This image has such a serene quality, Frank. The lines and layers of colors work well. While I like the pano crop, I would consider a sliver off of the bottom (where it is a tad darker) and more from the right just past the larger dark spot. Both work very well...it's just a matter of taste. It's always nice to see when a photographer can take a rather simple bird and make such a visually pleasing image.

    Lovely low angle, excellent light and IQ. I like your choice of pano crop and the bird placement too. I'd evict the one dark spot on the water to the right. Nicely done Frank.

    Hi Frank, lovely low perspective, and captured in soft light. I agree with Marina to take a bit off the bottom, and I would remove the darker spot halfway across the water towards the edge of the frame.

    I like the low angle, calm water, light, IQ and composition. I agree with removing the dark spot. Excellent image Frank!
