Nice intimate shot of this gal, Jerry, and complimentary surroundings. I normally don't process my images of this behavior, but the eye contact works well for this.

Nice reflection in this one Jerry and I especially like the color of the water (assuming it's from reflecting the surrounding vegetation)

What a serene moment you seen and created here Jerry. The wonderful soft light on the hen and that water color mix beautifully for this scene.

Hi Jerry

The colors and lines are all in harmony with the beautiful light. I'll use Kens words "serene"

Hey Jerry,
Well done on this one, the water is outstanding.
That new 7D Mark II seems to be working out nicely for you.

Man !
