Happy new year Lorant!
What a loooooo....ng neck!!
Nice BG and good to see the bird did not fully intersect with the shoreline.I would have loved for him to be against the green BG entirely.
I also like the little bit of a head turn our way and the way the feet are separated.
The IQ seems to be a bit off ie. details a bit crunchy. Is this a big crop?
This guy seems to be orangy with pink legs. is this a young bird?

Hello Gail. Thanks for commenting. I agree, it would have been ideal to have the bird on the green BG. It is a crop, but the IQ isn't bad of the original. I guess the jpeg compression lowered it, as the original 1900pixs image was way over the size limit here. I only sharpened the head and I used some NR on the whole image.
I think it is a young bird.
