Want to see its legs and with better lighting and clear background (water). Wish to have better luck next time.

Thanks for viewing.

Great pose. The detail in the underwings is terrific.

Good action stooping here. Pity about the legs but, could you have allowed room for the virtual legs?

Pretty bird, excellent wing stretch, nice shot but that water looks very unclean and unhealthy.

A fine shot, Daniel!
The sharpening this time looks good. May want just a tad more contrast though ...

I agree that the water looks less than desirable but that bird sure is a killer!!

The wingstretch is really good. You can even see some muck on the bird's belly. I would like to see more room for virtual legs. This could be a good environmentalist shot with all the junk in the water.
