Nice subject and colors. It definitely needs some rotation. Also the head turn is not ideal, and I would crop some from the top.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, details and calm water. It does need a few degrees CW rotation and I would crop some off the top and I also wish the bird were swimming towards you.

[Fabs Forns]

Good points made in both critiques, I'd add to crop some of the reflection, which is not full and has some annoying whites on it.

I like the detail....often hard to get on this bird. My very first impression was that it really needed a CW rotation. I also like the idea of cropping off the top and a tad off the bottom. Definitely an image worth reworking.

Stuart,
Is this a crop or full frame?
