    Joe, nice looking bird and the whites are good. A bit high in the frame though and maybe could be a bit tighter.

    Hi Colin, I wouldn't want that to happen, so here is my original post that you commented on.

    A beautiful subject. Nice blues and greens in the water. Sharp details. A bit better head angle would have been great, as well as having the subject lower in the frame. I also find the image a touch bright overall - perhaps deepening the midtones would work well to added some punch.
