    Nice exp. on the whites. The fish and the contact with the water add to this one. I might move the bird a little to the left in the frame. Nice job getting a good shot in open, clean water at Circle B.

    This is really, really pretty Joseph. The flat water and wing drag are magical. I would not move the bird any farther left than he is now.

    What a beautiful photo.
    As mentioned previously the wing tipping the water is just magical.
    Great reflection in the amazingly tranquil water.

    Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting, very much appreciated. I tweaked the image a bit. The feathers were not white enough and the water not blue. Simple change in setting the white balance off the wing feathers. Which is better?

    I really like this one! The touch of the wing on the water makes the whole shot, along with the fish in the bill. The re-post is IMO better than the first one, and the whites are well preserved.

    Love the wing touching the water. Great colours throughout with the whites looking real good. Lovely
