May this is a stunning image.
The detail, color pallet, action and wonderful reflection all combine for a picture perfect composition.
The large version is very impressive,
Well done . . .

Gorgeous colors and the open beak adds bunches to this great shot -- to my eyes he looks like it needs some straightening as it appears the bird is swimming uphill --worth a shot to see if it improves the great photo

May,
actually for me there is no need to have a look to the large version, since alrady as shown it is a nice image. A bonus is of course the open beak and the nice colors.

Nice catch May. Everything looks good. Love the green water and that open beak of course.

Excellent pov and nice detail in the bird, May. I like the calling pose and the nice smooth ripples in the water. Well done.
