    Love this one Joe, perfect whites that have detail but not the greyed out look from dropping highlights in processing. Looks like you nailed this one in camera

    Nice one Joe. White feathers look good - nice details on the dorsal texture. Maybe a bit of a darkish halo along the contour - especially in front edge of wings and neck. Beauty blue water BG.

    Very nice indeed, if you did use a mask to separate the bird from the background I would suggest a little more feathering would help the issue Dan raised.
