Nice solid image.
I like the worm and the details in the blacks. I feel like this needs a bit of CW rotation.

Dan:

Great exposure on a notoriously challenging bird. Bill looks excellent.

Framed a sliver tight. The leveling is OK for me. The angle of the bird makes it look off, but when looking at the base of the worm at the water level, and the part of the body that seems to be in the same plane, it looks level.

Cheers

Nice detail on the bird. I like the food item and that green water.
