    Fantastic image. Gorgeous colors, perfect exposure and pose. Love those feathers in the water, the near perfect reflection and the superb details.
    If anything, I wish that either the bird wasn't so centered, or that the "ring" wasn't clipped on the right; but do absolutely love it as presented.

    Ofer:

    Sharp, well exposed, lovely colors, shooting angle, reflection. Feathers add extra interest.
    For me, the feathers are stronger image components than the ripples, so would go with what works best with feathers.

    Very well done!

    Cheers

    A lovely image.

    Colours are lovely and details on bird really stand out.

    For me these special moments are what it is all about.

    Well captured.

    Ofer, another stunning shot. The colors in the FG-BG couldn't have been better. Terrific pose and nice touch with the feathers. Ripples are also adding a lot.

    It's all been mentioned above, really nice shot, not sure if I like the dark spot on water bottom left side or what is causing it.

    Sweet light, first winter plumage bird, and wonderful REFL. If it were mine, I would take a bit off the back.

    You sure have been getting sweet colours in the water at this spot (assuming its the same general area as the swamphens)! I also like the blue fringing to the ripples. The feathers, of course, are a nice touch. I wouldn't mind a touch more room below.
