I captured this image at Lake Mirror one of the lakes in Lakeland, Florida. The background is the water surface of the lake. Very little cropping, just a slight bit for composition. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Cracker of an eye level flight image of this species. Body angle and head angle captured are very strong. I like how you let the dark plumage of the bird be dark without trying to lift too much detail in post work. Very nice image all around sir.
