Rick, the clean blue water and reflection are quite appealing. Underexposing slightly may have helped with the highlights, which seem a bit bright on my screen. Never easy with a bird sporting light and dark plumage!

I agree, Rick, the water and the reflection make this very appealing. If this is a crop and you have it I might add a bit back all around just to give a little more space.

love the reflection here Rick!
I agree with Max, it looks just a tad bright overall, with some of the darkest parts devoid of detail :smile:

A bit tight for me. I would bring down the exposure globally if this were mine. Nice sharpness and detail.

I especially like the ultra smooth water surface & super crisp mirror reflection Rick.
Nice shade of blue too, well done! :toast:
