I just went through some images I made at the Meadowlands in first light in late September and liked this one.

Axel, I remember that morning. The light was fantastic. You captured it well here. Very nice pose and water drop.

I need to get a longer lens. This is an awesome shot.

This picture looks surreal, the BG and the way it reflects in the water is so amazing. I wonder whether you could share whether you cleaned up the bill at all please? Like the circular ripples very much, and the water droplet is a huge plus.

[Jim Crosswell]

The lighting is just amazing. This is perfection!

Thanks, Marina! I didn't clean the bill, the light was amazing that morning and the plants in the BG caused the water color.

[James Salywoda]

Such stunning colors Axel they really make the shot for me well done.

[Stu Bowie]

Sweet light, warm colours, and you nailed the exposure in this. Just love the colours of the BG. The droplet on the end of the beak adds a nice touch.

Lovely light quality, sweet subject with good eye contact, well done here!.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Wow, bhai, loved the light effect here, nice angle and details too.. congrats..

[Ofer Levy]

Lovely image. Great techs and low angle. Sweet light too. Would cool it slightly when converting the RAW file as it looks a bit too orange to me.

Axel, stunning light and colors. The small water drop adds a cute factor here.
