This fellow was imaged last week while in Northern Michigan. It was a dead still morning, on a quiet bay, with light filtering through the trees behind the bird on the shoreline. I was fortunate that the beams fell just right to illuminate the birds head and eye.

Post: Selective sharpening, removed second catchlight, minor water cleanup 20% crop.
I debated the crop for a while, but wanted to keep the ripples. No saturation changes.
Advice and comments always appreciated.
I was fortunate to have Gary Esman along, and a great day was had by all.
Cheers
Randy
