Image shot yesterday, late afternoon light. I positioned my camera on an area of water that had nice color and waited until this woodie decided to swim by. Canon D60, 600mm IS, ISO200, 550EX - 2 w/BB, RAW.
Comments welcome.

Neat shot and very nice water. You appear to have lost some DOF on the tail end.

Excellent shot. I love the water color and the reflection.

Maybe 1/3 more of fill, but that's not a nit. This is gorgeous just the way it is. Nothing looks worse to me than a 'flashed' bird. Good job.
