    Hello Robert,

    I like the Pose, eye contact, HA, And the low level. Also I like the DoF. the reeds at the back dont bother me as it gives it a natural look neither do the reflection of water on the body. But may be a llittle brightness could make this awesome.

    Great low angle and pose. I really like how the bird's position places him between the reeds. I like the reeds. I would take some off the bottom to get rid of the wobbly reflection and might consider cloning out any remaining white and leave room for the virtual feet. Great shot,
    Gail

    Lovely low angle, gorgeous habitat depicted well. The comp works perfectly for me as is.
    The only thing I would probably address here is the slight halo around the bird from possible selective work on the bird/bg NR.
    I really like the setting here. Very nice image Robert.
