Still at my local patch in large numbers.

I like the white light reflections on the bird!

Richard, beautiful shot. Not sure what I would change. Is it just a bit overexposed?? Curious to see what others think.

I don't think it is overexposed but it is bright. If mine I might try bringing down the whites and photo a bit. I am not sure what would be the best way and I would ahve to try a couple to see which worked to reveal more detail.

I like the pose and good job on removal of the other birds.

I also agree on the nice reflections.

OK

thanks for posting

have reworked to remove slight red cast, and using shadows and highlights brought out more details

hope you like the repost

Richard you have a lovely bird here! I like your choice of comp and crop. Good HA and a pleasing BG also help. I'm still seeing a red cast - especially in the water. How did you remove your red cast? Try opening a saturation adjustment layer, choose reds from the pulldown menu and then move the saturation slider to the left until you see the cast disappear.
