Hate to follow Artie's, but here's #2 in my series of SB Dowitchers from Jamaica Bay. Similar to my post of the other day, but with a different head position, which I like. I'm not so sure about the belly reflection. And any more space at the bottom for virtual legs would expose even more of it. Any suggestions? C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Bill, good look-back pose, and well placed in the frame. The light looks nice and soft, and overall nice and sharp. The space at the bottom is fine, but I would maybe take a tad off the top.
Great setting, light, and resting pose. I prefer your other post, as for some reason, this one seems to be a bit lacking in fine detail? Not sure. The other one was very sharp.
Have yet to get a good chance at this species, so I'm jealous!
Thank you Stuart, Aiden, Mike and Connie. I can see that a bit off the top and onto the bottom might help. Unfortunately, there was a line of oof debris obscuring the reflection just below where I cropped it. I can't do a quick repost, but if I go back to the original maybe I can squeeze a fraction of an inch more onto the bottom, and can certainly crop the top. I appreciate the suggestions.
Bill, Very nice pose and I like the soft water colors. I think the exposure and details look good. I like the composition, I usually prefer a little more on top than bottom.
