An outstanding image, Tim, with the lighting, detail, perspective, reflection, and setting, all captured so well here.( Certainly an attractive subject, with the feathers displayed, and the red eye).

Great low angle, eye contact and soft light, Tim.

Just gorgeous! Love the soft water, beautiful detail in the feathers, and most of all, the serene feel to this. A "must click" too the open beak and red eye even better. Best shot I've even seen of this bird.

Terrific capture, Tim!

Fantastic shot. I like the colours, the soft light and the low angle.
