A real beauty Dave and I love the wonderful flight pose and excellent detail and exposure. I particular like the soft lighting on the water creating a stunning BG. Great composition !!! Many thanks for sharing.

Love the banking pose with nice wing spread. The image looks sharp with fine details too. The open beak adds to the image. What I like most is the reflection in the water which make a great background that goes well with the bird.

Hi Dave, great timing to capture this angle, and I like the IQ. NTS. LC or AR???

Insanely good Dave,

wing position, open mouth, fantastically sharp, great light, super eye contact and love the details in the blacks.

Lovely posture and light Dave!

Man, I opened the image before reading the title and from the thumbnail I was expecting a bird of prey!!:D Nothing to fault here, I like the white and orangish colour reflections in the water mimicking the bird's colours.
