    Beautiful BG and nice simple design Don. I like the way the water blends into the sky. Nice pose and comp. I found lighting on the head a bit harsh but when I tilted the display it looked fine.

    Hey Don,
    Exposure and pose are excellent.....I don't mind the horizontal orientation but do wish you aimed the camera slightly lower so the white band up top wasn't there and that would give some extra room down at the bottom. As you know, I like tight comps so just eliminating band up top will also work for me!

    Hi Don, you have really brought good sharp detail, and I like the look back pose. Lovely soft colours to the BG, and agree, either comp will work.

    excellent...I'd love to photograph this bird some day. I love herons and egrest.

    low angle makes all the difference here...and what a pose. great florida colors in the BG. sweet light. I like it as presented.

    Great comp imo. I prefer the horiz. I've seen a few around Merritt Island lately that are starting to get quite colorful.
