Nice pose on the bird.The vertical composition works quite well. The breeding plumage is a plus.

Nice image, John. Could you have got more of the reflection, and if so, how do you think that would have looked?

Thanks David. I was too close and had too much lens to get the entire reflection in this one. Actually I believe the close shoreline had tall grass that made getting it impossible here or I might have tried the image without the 1.4III.

Looking good John. I really like the 'smooth' whites. Lovely pose and HA. I don't mind the reflection, as it gives room for the virtual legs.
