Nice shot, Rob.
I liked the angle you captured this guy.

Not the usual setting I'll bet, cool.:cool:
Nice details, good job managing the exposure of the B&W plumage Rob.

Rob, the details, pose, and colors of the bird look great. I especially like the nice bright breast.

Sublime lighting Rob. Love the blue hue of the water and the ripples, too nice! The bird is posing just as nice as can be as well. The relatively sedate coloration of the bird is complemented well by the simple setting. :toast: :toast:

Very pretty light. Low angle made this one for me.

Super angle on this one. The detail shows nicely throughout, though I might be tempted to push the shadows just a bit to open up the near neck under the cheek. A very minor nit on a super shot. :toast:

Love the single branch coming form the water Rob. Great angle and good job on the exposure.

Love this image Rob. Like that the bird is on a perch over the water and really like your perspective.
