I like the colours and composition. The details are super, especially well shown on the shaded side. I was a little tempted to suggest brightening the eye a tad but I think it is about right, any brighter and I think it would look like it had been enhanced.

The back/side lighting are quite lovely. The reflection is very nice. Like the green in the water. Detail looks great.

Cheers Jon, exactly! This is why any adjustments must and should never really be seen, everything done with a subtle and light hand.

Cheers David, this is where you need to know your kit delivers pin sharp images, as shooting through one inch glass will mean a fraction of lost IQ and at ISO4000 just adds. However, minimal crop, ETTR exposure and avoiding heavy handed Contrast adjustments delivers.

Hi Steve, I have been studying this image, I keep going back and looking at it. A lesson in how you handled the strong side light and still were able to keep detail in the shadows. Beautiful bird, nice composition keeping the reflection. Thank you for sharing.
