Nice one Mike. I would crop some off the top and right side.

I think I agree with Mike's crop suggestion. This is a difficult bird to expose properly, especially in sun light. It appears that you did exceptionally well here. Congrats! :D

I agree with the cropping suggestion. It looks a bit dark on my end. :wink:

Good exposure, low angle and the blue water color ...
Nicely done, Mike!

I like the new crop better. The water drops on the back are a nice touch.
