Hi Ian- I quite like the soft look to this one. The light is appealing. I like head-on head angles like this. Too bad about the unruly grass.

Thanks, John. I didn't think the grass hurt this all that much, but maybe I'm wrong. I couldn't get the bird isolated and keep the nice light and cloud reflections. I'll try going in and cloning that stuff out, but not sure my PP skills are up to it yet.
