This is OK as a record shot, but it is not sharp. You need to review your technique before going back to get something better.
I think the bird is a little lost in the reflections on the water though.
Makes my eyes go funny looking at it.
Regards

I have to agree, the bird is somehow overpowered by the water. Great record shot though.

Hi Brian
Nice shot - it's not often you get close views of these birds. I think a slightly tighter crop may have helped the image!

Hi Brian
I good effort in the conditions and on my dodgy laptop display it looks sharp enough considering the use of the 2x TC. I like the water texture, at least it is something other than mucky brown which often is the case in the UK.
