Another beauty - I especially like the low perspective and sludge.

Rob, if you got any lower, you would need a snorkel! Classic comp, and an excellent defining shot of the bird!

Very nice indeed. Love the low angle and the pose. That foot (+ mud) add much. The bird resembles the Sora that we have here, but I believe that the feet are a bit smaller. But them it has this glowing red eye. Nice.

Super low angle and reflection here Rob, if you had just a little more at the bottom it would make it even better but a killer shot as is.

Rob this is gorgeous. The reflected light on the underside of the bird enhancing the detail in the fine pattern of feathers on the bird's belly, that vivid eye, the low perspective and reflection....Wow!
