Wow, that is a beautiful animal! The color on the flank is amazing and what's up with those ears???!!. I'm not trying to start a trend here (see comments on Sid's post) but I would take some off the bottom and not worry about the reflection. Beautiful image as posted, though. Thanks!

Superb capture of a gorgeous bird, Glenn, TFS. Great eye contact, detail in the ear feathers, and reflection. I like the framing as presented.

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful looking bird in a nice comp with great detail and eye contact. I may tone down the highlights a bit. TFS, Glenn.

[Dan Busby]

Very beautiful image as usual Glenn. Personally, I would prefer the bird to be lower in the frame.

[Alfred Forns]

Funky looking bird Glenn !! Agree on the highlights Impressive image !!!

[Hendri Venter]

Funky but beautiful. Love the calm water and BG. Outstanding detail and image quality too. A mighty fine image Glenn.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Fantastic image, definitely agree about lowering the highlights a little - it makes a big difference! I would be inclined to crop a little from the bottom and add just a little canvas to the right.

The raised "horns" and wonderful colors in the water really make this one Glenn. Very nice.
