Very nice John...good to see different species from those in my area.

Good light and detail John. Maybe clean up that double highlight in the eye. Probably could have done with a slightly lower view if that were possible under the circumstances.

Lovely light and details on this bird. Lower angle would have been nice but the texture on the water is very nice as is.
