Lovely bird and composition. Love how the water blends right in with the BG. The feathers on the back and side didn't look quite right to my eyes. I took the image into PS and did a little bit of burning. It improved the look of the bird quite a bit in my opinion.

[Jonathan Ashton]

It's a fine image Gail but something says to me can I see a version processed in DPP.

[William Dickson]

Very well done Gail. I love the POV and the details on the bird. I would like to have seen a slightly more head turn towards us, but lovely as is. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Perfect pose, shooting angle and details. Light is nice and I love the FG/BG color. What's not to like?

[David Salem]

A nice low shooting angle along with a good look at the head with the flared facial feathers And the Beautiful green background all make for a fine capture. Well done Gail
