Very nice composition Tom,
I like the bird placement in frame, however a lower shooting angle would have presented better. I would crop just a little from the top of the frame to make your subject stand out more; and perhaps desaturate the background just a little...:cool:
Sharp. Cool pose. Good head angle for the pose. I could do without the grass... And yes to a bit less SAT.
Whose bathing pool and where?

Believe it or not I used very little sat on this image, but probably didn't need any. this is a really neat little pond called elepahant pond on private property near Green Valley, AZ. Has nice set ups and blinds. Thanks for the comments.
