even if it's a common bird, it still has a few tricks up its "sleeve" to surprise us :)

Excellent shot. Critical focus appears to be on the right wing, but despite f5.6, the head looks okay to me.

What is your first name? What does "gigo" stand for?

Nice one Daniel! The pose is excellent, as is the splashing water. Focus and exposure are dead-on.

I like it! Love how the eye picks up the color of the water. The wing position and splashes make it special!

Nice exposure on this one and wonderful wing extension. I love the rather awkward looking positioning of the legs. It gives the photo a kind of comical air. Very well done.

Love the wing spread. Nice composition. The head might need a touch more sharpening.

I love the contrasty colors. Maybe a little more selective sharpening.

Daniel,

Beautiful image of a bird I love to photograph. Funny, but I don't remember seeing this a Bosque last week! :wink:
