Don, this is pretty much perfect IMO. The pose, head postion, light, BG, angle, sharpness, expsoure, the eye....superb shot. These are difficult to sharpen...you've done that quite well.

[PRABIR BHATTACHARYYA]

Don, very nicely done! Liked the overall presentation very much.

Don this is top quality image....nice low angle and superb details on bird...After looking at this I feel I should have had visited Estero Lagoon on my last visit to Florida..

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low angle, lighting, details and sharpness. Great image Don!

[Doug Brown]

Love the sweet light, low angle, and excellent fine detail. Perfect head angle too.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Don, nothing to say except you pretty much nailed everything in this. I like the low perspective, pose, and you have brought out the detail and sharpness perfectly. Love the blues of the water too.

[Robert Holguin]

Wow!!! What a beauty. Love the shooting angle, wonderful light, the detail is just superb, and well composed.
Well done.

This is a great shot of a Tri-Colored Don. As others have said, not much to improve upon with this shot. I like the eye level contact you made and that light is fantastic.
