Sharp. Lovely bird. Nice composition and good light angle. What is it??? If it had been possible to get much lower, even down on the ground, many of the distracting black thingies in the water would have been eliminated or at least their effects diminished.

I would have loved to have taken this from a lower angle but was restricted in that choice as I had to use a viewing platform at the Edithvale Wetlands in Melbourne.
Normally they are seen on grasslands and I hope to get some interesting photos of them with their young in the coming breeding season.
Thanks again for your marvelous site and all the fantastic advice that comes from a great and VERY talented group of photographers who are prepared to help us enthusiastic albeit somewhat less than stella novices.
Lovely bird and good composition and pose. Hope you'll get opportunities for photographing them with their babies this year.....I'd love to see them!
Very nice capture.
