    I really like this long legged wader which looks very good to me,do find the water a bit to dark and overpowering for my taste,that of course is just my personal thing Satish ,keep coming back to that lovely red eye,nice work.

    Hi Satish. The bird is wonderful, in a nice pose. I agree the water seems a bit dark, but it does set the bird off nicely. The red eye is a killer. And I like the touch of greenery that counterbalances the image. Does it need some CW rotation?

    That eye is stunning. Good whites, darkest blacks could be lifted a bit. I'm OK with the dark water. The vegetation does add to the image. I wish for more separation between the legs, especially where they touch the water. I too get the feeling some CW rotation may be good. Is that an insect on the neck?

    Nice detail in the whites and that eye is captivating. I think the back of the bird blends a bit too much with the water and would have wished for the water to be a bit lighter.
