    Thanks for looking.

    love the low angle and the light, the almost metallic looking green water is cool too, if mine I'd put a bit more room in front of her

    Hi Tim, beautiful bird, lovely water background. I agree with Ari's suggestion to add more water in front of the bird. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks Arash but unless I go with a pano crop the tail would be too close to the edge of the frame.

    More room all around would have been great as the water looks pretty good. The subtle head turn towards us is excellent, and the overall colours very appealing. The tan stripe skimming the back is unfortunate IMO.

    The painterly water is great. Nice pose on the bird.

    Pretty spectacular all around. Unless this is a crop more room all around would be great. The water really rocks!
