Taken at a local pond near Atlanta. The foreground could be better, but I like the way the bird looks. I cloned out a distracting branch in the foreground. Comments appreciated.

10D, 100-400 IS, ISO 100, 1/500, f6.3, handheld.

Excellent exposure and wonderful pose. I'd be tempted to crop a sliver off the left. Very nice shot!!

Lovely image, Brian. The framing is fine for me - the eye is in an ideal location.

Brian, I think you missed it

Just kidding, I'm not crazy about that twigy thing but the bird looks great.

Thank you for the comments. Alan, you had me laughing with your comment that I missed it!

Here is the image with some of the suggestions about the left cropping and the "tree" removed. I really need to work more on my PS skills. It is a much stronger image I think. Comments appreciated.

Thanks again,
