A very nice image which has an entirely different feel to your other one. I like the soft light on the bird, though the angle of the sun hasn't thrown any light on the front of the bird.
I would go for a closer crop with a little off the right, but include the upright reed, and more taken off the left.
Thanks for always commenting on my posts. I learned a great deal from watching you at the beach and studying your posts. My improvement has a great deal to do with you.
