Dan, lovely bird, light and water. Exposure looks nice too.
I would have him on the left side of the frame - not sure that the bubbles or the faint concentric rings justify the unconventional comp.
That green is just gorgeous.
Great looking bird and pose, Dan. Awesome BG light & color, ripples, bubbles really make for cool unique composition. Maybe a longer pano with some more space to rt., but hey, its fun to try something different, and I like this!
Thanks Brendan and Sidharth.
I didn't think for a second about the crop being odd.
I liked the water and I liked the bubbles.
I didn't even mind no yellow legs.
I did have my VR off by accident and I think the bird could be sharper.
I like the bubbles but likely would have like the concentric rings a bit more.... Do you have more room in front of the bird? Optional: bill clean-up.
