Karl:

The repeating lines of log and birds body and reflection work very well here, strong compositionally. Attractive bird, complimentary bg.

Very well seen and captured. Congrats.

Cheers

Very nice Karl. I don't think I've ever seen one of these, but sure would like to now I've seen yours. :)

love the soft light and the water and how he is wetting his foot! a slight head turn towards us would have been ideal. I see a slight magenta cast on whites

Great comp and exposure. Love the reflection. The way it walks down off of its perch into the water is nice.

[Karen Forderer]

Beautiful. It looks so peaceful. I really like the composition and the background.
