Hi Philip,
Very fine image with the first word that came to mind when your image appeared was 'elegant',which pretty much describes this species,I reckon.
Love the silvery sheen on the water,complements the birds plumage perfectly.

Nice image Phillip, the touch of colour in the water really lifts the scene and makes it for me.

Cracking shot. You could bring the contrast up a little to give the subject a bit more "pop", (try another round of USM with settings of 20;50;0), then use the history brush to remove any unwanted effects on the water or reflection.

Simply very very nice, must rank as one of my favourite images of yours.
