Great looking bird, we don't have them in UK. The bill and breast front are nice and sharp but focus falls away quit quickly from there. F8 or 11 may have given a bit more dof but would have probably increased the ISO more than you would have liked. The background and the swirly water are beautiful. I quite like the head angle and the eye connection.
No more d-o-f for me and I am not seeing any yellow cast; the colors look natural to me and I love the low perspective.
with love, artie
