Dan:
Nice low shooting angle, good eye contact and catch light. Sharp, generally well exposed, perhaps a bit hot on the white eye patch, but that area tends to be a real pain to expose properly, even if the rest of the bird is perfect.
THe blues in the image look too saturated, vivid. I have shot a lot of these gals, and her blues look a bit to neon from my experience.
Sliver tight on the left.

Hi Dan, good low angle, and swimming angle too. Overall, she is nice and sharp, and I do like the detail and colours on her head, as well as the texture to the water. Although Im not familiar with this species, the blues could go down a little. Comp wise, yes to a little more space on the left, and maybe a touch off the top.![]()

nice head angle and details, good light. I see a blue cast in the shaded area

Nice deep shooting position and great eye contact.
Hi Dan,
I agree about the blues being oversaturated. I would give her a bit more room on the left if you have it. I like the colors on the head-I have never noticed that before,

Nice pose, eye contact and detai, Dan. The blue is very blue, but who knows, you saw it.
Very nice shot. Great pose, detail is excellent, great low angle, and I really like the color and texture of the water.
Well done.
