    Greetings All,
    This image is from Sunday in the Everglades - South Florida. I had to crop a fair amount as he was across a pond therefore the image is not as sharp as one would like however the overall image evokes a nice feeling for me and I hope for you as well. Enjoy and all comments suggestions welcomed!

    I like the landing pose and wing position and would put the bird a bit lower in the frame. You could tone down the highlights in the neck area and sharpen the wings a bit more.

    While the reflections in the water are natural I find the almost mid-image background color split a little distracting. Would have probably looked better with a 1/3 to 2/3 split of the colors. Great wingspread though Michael, Axel mentioned the hot patch on the back. Position in frame is very good! :)
