    It's a bit of a tight crop do to the OOF rocks in the foreground.

    Thanks for looking.

    Looks good to my eye Tim, the detail and compostion is very pleasing. The spectral highlight behind the head is a bit of a distraction. TFS

    Great color,detail and head angle. Agree on it being just a touch too tight.

    Hi Tim, we see a lot of HB's on the site, mostly hovering towards a plant to feed on, but one perched/standing in water is a first for me. Lovely pose and HA, and just love the various colours on this species. Nice and sharp, and the large bubble infront of the bird adds interest. I would blend in the specular highlight behind the birds head.

    The thumbnail doesn't do the image justice. I like the water texture, pose and HA. I would get rid of the highlight as well. A very unique image Tim!
