    John:

    I love the shallow DOF, soft water, but with some gentle undulations to add interest, bird is well exposed, good shooting angle. I like the framing, although perhaps a tiny sliver more canvas on the left, if available and clean. Personal taste on that.

    Cheers

    Ditto on all comments. Wonderful light, details and both FG and BG dreamily creamy. TFS

    Another quality shot from what looks a very productive day out. No nits from me.

    Off to google this wall of shame now!

    Hi John, another stunner from you, and love the low perspective. The feather shows up nicely, sharp, and got to love the colour of the water.

    Now you're just rubbing it in. As good as the male from the other day. I'm equally envious. Might shift bird slightly to right for compositional purposes; she's very centered now.
