You are so right. The light makes all the difference. Love the feather detail.

The light is fantastic as well as the blue water background. Like Jerry said the feather detail is very sharp. I like the eye contact too.

I always thought these were cool looking birds anyhow, Bob. The light is great here and you caught an excellent pose. Beautiful detail.
