Another lifer from Bosque a couple of years ago. He worked the edge of the front pond at the refuge so I just waited until evening and slowly followed him up and back on an evening with good light.

I'm finding that my images don't look sharp but look much better at the enlarged size.

Great lighting and wonderful reflection, Lana. Your image definitely appears sharp when viewed large. Excellent Bosque photograph.

Very nice image, and like you mentioned the sharpness seems right on the larger version. Thats how they should be viewed anyway. I wish that was just the standard size. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for looking,

I never look at any images without clicking to get the uncompressed view, Lana. A lovely capture of this little beauty with sweet reflection - and sharp from head to tail!

Great image. Nice light and reflection and dynamism. with the wake breaking the perfectly still water. Very nice subject. It must have been going pretty fast.
