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.

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.
