You have captured a very lovely morning image of a beautiful bird. Well cone.

Beautiful light and detail, Graham. I might play with the crop a bit and chop off the closest wave. The fringe at the top of it is a bit distracting. I'm not sure if you can still get a good composition that way or not, but it I think it's worth trying.

sweet light. I like the water drop and the texture in the water in front of the eider. I agree with Dennis about taking some off the bottom.

Wonderful light to show the nice patterns of the eider and the water drops really add to the image, nice job in getting this, way to go.

Nice image Graham. Lovely bird and wonderful light. On my monitor the darks seem to be blocked. I wonder if there is any possible detail to bring back up.
