Shot at Eco Pond in the Glades a couple of weeks ago in mid-afternoon light. One of only two frames of this bird as it was a couple of seconds later hidden behind bushes along the bank.

Wonderful eye contact Bill and I like the inquisitive pose. The bird looks good and I really enjoy the blues in the water fading to what looks like cloud reflections in the upper right.

The techs are spot on, Bill. Gopod comp and eye contact, and I really like the background colors.

Bill,
Really nice water color and a stillness that shows the clouds reflections. Good eye contact. Would love to see a larger post of this to really see the details. I really like these birds. Thanks for sharing Bill.

Nice light here Bill, and the bird looks good from what I can see in the smaller version. The water colors add IMO.
