Well exposed, fun pose, one of my favorite birds, such character!

I believe the images needs a couple of degrees of clockwise rotation, based on the angle of all the sticks pointing to the left in the foreground.

The bg is a bit busy. Was a lower shooting angle possible?

Cheers

Hi Randy, This is a natural wetland in the western suburbs of broward county fl. It was left for water management when a local university's extension construction was done. They also built a board walk for tranquil walking. I was at the floor of the boardwalk to get this low. Exacerbating this issue is the fact this old glass needs to be stopped down. Even with these issues, I couldn't resist this morning stretch in nice soft light. Rotation need noted.
As always, thanks for your valued inputs.

I like this-just not that busy BG.
Exposure spot in-the whites are easy to blow on these birds.
Good pose.
Nice pose and I agree about the rotation issue.

The pose is great. The setting is typical im sure. Detail looks nice. The bird is nice and sharp.
