Nice. I havent been able to approach them successfully. Liked the eye contact and exposure. If possible, a lower angle would have made it better.

Lovely late-day light, EXP, detail, and contact. Maybe crop a little off the top, but overall a wonderful portrait of this shy bird.

Gary:

Nicely captured, exposed. I suspect you were down on the top of the railing as is to get as low as you could at that venue.

Cheers

I also would prefer a lower angle but realize it is not always possible. The head contrasts nicely with the blue waters. As presented a touch more sharpening to bring out the fine detail on the face and neck would be an option.
