    Lovely colors, IQ, exp and detail are spot on as usual...I do find myself wishing for an open eye. Nice one KD

    Nice preening pose. It might need a little more room for the virtual feet.

    Very nice behavior image. The exp & lighting is great. Love the clean b/g and how the color compliments the Avocet.

    I like the blue water and low angle KD. The preening pose is also very nice. I agree that an open eye would add to this image. Still a job well done!

    Pretty colors and reflection with nice light. I personally would like more or all of the reflection and I know it's nature as is but I too would like an eye to connect with.

    Kaustubh, I like the pose and the eye being closed doesn't bother me. The exposure looks very nice.
