Wonderful pose to see the wing feathers and nice job dealing with the brighter light and the white colors. I wish the water behind the head area was not so dark but a minor issue. The larger image has some nice feather detail, good timing to get this.

Looks good from here. I don't get to see this species very often, and sure don't have any photos nearly this good. Nice to catch the wings up like this.

Well done. I like the detail under the wing visible on the larger image and also on the breast. I think I'd like to see the crop just a bit looser-especially on the top.

Good timing to get the stretch and have her high out of the water. Looks like the light was a bit harsh but you handled it well.
