    Gal:

    Sharp, nicely exposed, good shooting angle.

    I might consider a 30% crop down from the top of free space, and 20% crop of free space in from right side.

    Just personal preference really.

    The HA appears to be just slightly away from us.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Good-looking specimen, good light and BG, too. I find the foreground a bit distracting and agree regarding a slightly tighter crop.

    Thanks for your comments,
    The new tighter crop left ~75% of the original, does it look better in your opinion?

    The bird is just great and the background sublime. I think you need the space at the bottom as in the first post.

    I agree with Ian regarding the second image posted and adding to the lower part of the image. "Virtual" feet is nice even though you can't see them.

    Gal, Beautiful light and colors are fantastic! I like the OP w/ a slice off the top and a tiny bit off the right. Nice sharpness throughout.

    Excellent exposure and sharpness, and I like the tranquil water. Your repost cropped from the right works well, but I think more space as from your OP is better.
