I love this species. The colors look great against the gray water. I would probably get rid of the oof white drop on the bill. Nice capture.

Nice one John, really cool species! A lower angle would of been better (depending on the background), but sometimes this just isn't possible. Not sure if it's my monitor but the whites look a little hot. Love the feather detail on the head, and that eye!

Flat light makes for a nice, natural look at this guy. I might rotate frame slightly CCW and get rid of the OOF flake visible against the beak as suggested.
