Hi Denise

I like the crop and pose The grass chewing make it special All sharp and well exposed ... you just needed a cleaner bird :) btw just perfect head angle !!!!

[Gus Cobos]

Excellent composition, image, and capture Denise,
I like this very much... You need to a little bit of soap and water for your subject...:eek::p;):):D

he's an immature and he is light brown naturally.

Just want to add/ask: "is there a way to lighten that reflection in the water?" I just think it might improve the image.

Denise,
Nice image! great head angle and composition. Can you bring out the eye at all? My daughter and I spent 12 months photographing a family of swans. so I understand the 500mm. lol. how wild is this individual?

[denise ippolito]

completely wild

I like this but for the reflection of the other bird that merges with your subject... Sharp with a good exposure and the stalk is a big plus.
