This fella took off when I arrived on one side of the lake - but - came to me on the other. Light was quite diffused this morning.

Great bird and nice walking pose with the drip of water coming off the toe.
Image seems very contrasty and dark.
I would suggest a slight crop from the bottom to get rid of brown belly reflection and I would clone out dark spot in water on lower right edge of the frame. It catches my eye.
I think this deserves a redo in PP!

Such spectacular birds. I love the raised foot. I can't add anything to Gail's comments.
Nice work on the repost Jay. Beautiful bird, nicely shown... what not to like. Thank you for sharing.

Great shot here, Jay. I like the repost. The bird really stands out in this shot. Colours, tones and IQ all look excellent to me. I understand the comment by Gail about contrast but I suspect it's partly because the rest of the frame is so subdued - although I don't know this species.
Definitely better!Originally Posted by Jay Ing
