The image quality looks very good, especially at this high ISO. I like the feeding behavior, light, colors and reflection.

I was curious at what time you made this image, the time in the EXIF info can't be right since this would have been before sunrise, I guess it was a little after 7? It's been very nice meeting you.

[Connie Mier]

Oh, so you were all shooting together, very nice! Another beautiful photo from the lot, I particularly like the water off the bird's legs and beak. Beautiful reflection to boot.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice image Michael - good feeding behaviour depicted. I love the blue around the legs and bill. Good colours througout.

[Aidan Briggs]

Wow- very nice light, pose, BG, and exposure. Sharp too. I might give it a bit more space on the top or bottom to get into a 3 by 2 format, just a personal preference.

[Stephen Stephen]

Michael I love the colours in the water and BG as well as the water tension on the leg.

[Rohan Kamath]

the light, saturation of colors and the water on the leg all give this one a lovely calm feel...

[David Thomasson]

I like pretty much everything about this image, except that these little blue areas are distracting. What caused them?

[denise ippolito]

David, That is the water color -

Michael, Beautiful colors and pose. I love the sharp details.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

David, I think this is the reflection of the sky.

[Marina Scarr]

The blue does draw attention but in a positive way b/c it is so different from what we normally see. The blue almost looks neon. Great colors, details and behavior and what tremendous light!

[Ramon M. Casares]

I like the touches of blue actually. Great pose, great comp, wonderfull light, detail, colors and sharpness! Congratualitons!

[Harshad Barve]
