This is very nice. I would loosen the crop as I find it a bit tight and would clone out the brownish blob in the water above the merganser's back. The water has a great painted , swirly feel to it,

Beautiful details on the merganser. It is especially nice with his "hood" raised. I agree with Gail about the crop, the blob and that wonderful swirly water.

I agree with the above comments. Although I would like a lower POV, I do like that I can see the bird's leg under the water.

Nice merganser and water color. Crop is too tight for me, and he need more room to swim into. Would have liked to see more room at bottom for the reflection and less on top.

Super shot of the bird, with full crest up. Ditto the above re crop and blob.

I am slightly uneasy about the image, is this a significant crop? I would loosen it up a bit I think the image quality would improve.
