Looks a little over sharpened in the small file. The large file looks better.. I definitely like the pose and low angle.

Michael, I like the lifted leg pose, your exposure looks good as does your framing. The head does seem a little soft to me.

Hi Michael,
I really like the way the reflection is broken up here. It appears that the head and beak are not as sharp as the raised foot and leg. I also see some vertical banding in the reflection that I can't figure out.
Neat shot.
Neil

Very nice pose, Michael. I like the left foot just leaving the water. I also like the quality of the water itself. The head of the bird seems a bit soft to my eye. :toast:

Michael, Nice pose w/ the raised foot. The water adds nicely to the scene. I might add a touch more sharpening to the head.
