Nice sunrise colors and pose of the bird. Things look pretty sharp at this size but wonder if it would have helped to go to ISO 400 + to get the shutter speed up more. F-stop works well here. Normally I would prefer a lower POV but I do like the texture of the waves and such. I feel like the highlights could be toned down on the LHS a tad. TFS

I like the "about to feed" pose, and I love the liquid gold water texture. Perhaps pointing your lens down to include more of the reflection would have been a good option. This must be even better viewed large!
