Thanks, Alan. Normally I'd shoot a bit more to the right but in this case I chose to ignore the rules because of the shape and angle of the bird which is played up more this way.

The light must have been poor since looks flat to me. Thanks for posting.

I agree with both comments. The light leaves a bit to be desired and I dislike the color of the water but the pose is nice.

Nice full body image with a pleasing bg. I too would put the bird a bit more to the right in the frame but would also wish that the bird looked up a bit more than it is. Not a nit, just a suggestion for what to keep your eyes on.

Dick, Nice exposure and a wonderful bird, compositionally not bad but way below your capabilities, I have seen many of your images as this does not measure up, Not a bad image mind you, just not an inspired one from you!!, Now, just go get me a nice reddish prancing around in wonderful light and doing the crazy Sandy walk!!
