Great colors and reflection. I might crop a wee bit off the top to draw the eye downward, but it's nice as is.

Craig, great image placement with quite pleasing colors and especially the reflection in the 'liquid' water.

You just make it look so easy (and I know it's not!). What a beautiful capture of a beautiful bird.
