    Beautiful light and its soft reflection on the waters surface. Like the advancing raised foot and the warm blues of the water and sky. There is a significant halo around the entire bird. Easy fix.

    David:

    Agree with Geoffrey and I feel that the level of brightness in this image really gives it more of the twilight feeling than your previous one. Pose is great.

    Thanks gents as always for your very valued inputs. Yes, Randy, I slightly lowered the luminance this time given your input on the last post. Even though the sun is down, there is still a strong directional glow from where it sunk on the horizon behind and to the right of the frame. So, there is rim light which is stronger on the right. It's always hard for me to see halos. I did no selective processing but did lower shadows a stop in DPP which may be the culprit. Thanks again for your eagle eyes and help as always.

    The pose is bang on with that raised foot. Yes it does have that low light post sunset feel to it.

    Nice Placement of subject. Crop and aspect ratio is ok.

    I could crop or clone of the dark water at the very edger.
    Not super happy on the horizontal line. I could you could get lower point of view to eliminate the line completely.

    David, cool concept but for me the halo detracts a lot and as mentioned by Krishna, the water line through the neck is tough.

    Love the thought and effort.

    Lots of good comments above. For me, the merge of the bird's head with the horizon is an image killer. I do love the twilight feel and the raised foot ...
