Love this one Sid. Great position and details/reflections in the feathers. BKGD very nice. Only thing I could think of is cleaning up the bill a little. Where was this taken? Estero in the morning?

Thanks Clemens. Estero late afternoon.

Really nice pose Sid, great control of the whites and use of the condos reflection to get an interesting Bg

[Kerry Perkins]

Very nice Sid, what a great pose and look he gave you. Love the reflection of the ripples on the plumage and the lovely bg.

Sid:

Beautiful pose, fluffed feathers, color in water, sharpness, exposure.

My first thought on the lighting was that you used just a touch of fill.

Well captured.

Cheers

Excellent exposure and detail Sid, and overall nice and sharp too. I like the pose with the 'twisted' neck, and what a killer BG.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Great job overall. I love the water rflection lines on the plumage. Wind-ruffled feathers look good too. I just wish for separation at the touching legs.

Excellent job as usual Sid!
