Sweet looking image Craig, the water's reflections compliment her well.

A sharp view of the head, bill and chest. Excellent color on the water. The only thing to improve it for my taste is a bit more DOF and a little more room on top. :toast:

Beautiful, Craig. I really like the head turn and the quality of the water.
