    nice low angle and details, soft light only the mud clump is a bit distracting but at the same time part of the habitat

    Mital, wonderful shot...excellent details and exposure. Loved the one-legged stance. The patch does not bother me a whole lot as there are no bright spots or anything that catch the eye.

    Beautiful light, details and pose. I like the contrast of the darker moving water as a bkgd for the lighter colored stationary bird.

    Mital, good low angle of capture, and I feel you have nailed the detail and sharpness nicely. I dont mind the mud, as the colour of the water adds so much more.

    Very nice shot. You did everything right-low angle, good comp, exposure. I am not a fan of the clump of mud though, and find it distracting.

    Technically perfect but you needed him up on the rock at the very least...

    One step up and this would be really nice.
    If the bird was on the clump, it would look fine.

    While the HA of the original may be a bit better than the repost, I much prefer the latter. Getting the entire body of the bird up and away from the rocks, and in the beautiful blue background, makes it for me.
