Tough light for sure and it was handled as good as it could be IMO. Nice look at this awesome bird.

Good job in what appears to be a tough lighting situation. I would love to just have the chance to photograph one of these.

Hard to get a sense of scale with only water in the scene. However, a beautiful image. Love the detail throughout and the reflection is very nice. Good comp too Simon!
