    The feather is a nice touch....
    I might do a bit of color tweaking of the Green band at the top.

    One of my favorites too, although I don't get many chances to see them. Nice pose, good detail in the blacks, appealing soft bg, and the feather adds to it.

    It is a nice photo. I like the raised leg as if the bird is about to remove the feather.

    The softness between the water and background is fine. However, the green at the top is a bit strong compared to the other colours.

    Agree about the bit at the top but that apart it's a beautiful shot, blacks and whites are excellent.

    This is really nice Lorant.
    Great POV and the feather adds a lot to the image.Nice catchlight in the eye.
    I like the layered BG very much.
    I would smooth out the circular spot to the above and to the right of the stilt.
    Well done,
    Gail

    Great low angle shot, Lorant. I like the preening pose and the feather on the beak is a good addition.

    Very nice Lorant. Great POV and detail on the bird. I love the pose and the wee feather on the bill.
