Nickerson has been excellent. I had so much fun during and after the hurricane that I am staying on Long Island for another week. :) This image was created this morning at 7:09am with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens, the 1.4X III TC, and the EOS-1D Mark IV. Mongoose M3.6 and Gitzo 3530 LS CF tripod. Standing. Central sensor AI Servo AF/rear-focus and recompose.

Artie,
This is absolutely lovely. I love the vertical comp, the perfect HA and the blurry reflection. The image has a soft, sultry, calm, spa like feel to it. Lovely light as well. One of my favorite of yours since I joined BPN!

Artie, serenity at its best, and you couldnt have painted that water any smoother. The vertical comp suits the pose, and good to see the inclusion of the reflection. Did I mention you nailed the HA too.
Nice subject, and beautiful soft light and colours. I like the subtle gradient to the BG. Although the reflection is not a perfect mirror it is still very appealing. Personally I'd prefer the subject and reflection a bit higher in the frame, but that's just me
Artie, you say don't be shy, so here I go. I like this photo, but there is one distraction that seems to catch my eye and it is an optical illusion, I am sure. But for the novice like me, can you address the blue tint on the front edge of his breast and neck. I am sure it is just a reflection, but it almost gives the impression of slight CA when I view it on my monitor. Thoughts?
What I like most about this image is the grey calm background and the warm light on the bird. The combination of the colors gives a nice mood to the picture. I would also place the bird and the reflection higher in the frame.
