    Pine Point, ME last month. Cleaned up some debris in the water, desaturated the legs; levels, NR and USM; slight crop. C&C appreciated.

    Very nice composition. Sharp image, colors good.
    I am using an uncalibrated laptop right now. Perhaps the back of the bird needs to be lighter?

    Represents the bird well -- I like the change of colors on the beak and detail on the white underside look very good

    Though I would have preferred that you were on your belly, this one works really well for me with a nice look back head angle, sufficient depth-of-field, a good EXP, and a nice BKGR.

    Love the soft blue of the water. Excellent detail and exp on the bird. You really nailed this one, wouldn't change a thing.

    Bill, you did a very good job with this capture. The bird's head is tack sharp. I like the pose very much and the water looks great. Good clean up job b/c I don't see any evidence. You got some really nice details in the feathers.
