Very lovely light and it works extremely well with the Pintail, Jerry.

Sweet image.

There really is something about the light in Bosque that I've noticed in almost everyone's pictures that have been taken in the morning or late afternoon.  This one is no exception.  Nice view of this Pintail on the water in the background just warms up the whole picture.

Love the warm light here and the fine reflections here, Jerry.  It really shows off the bird well and adds nicely to the background.

Nice warm image of this Pintail Jerry. My ony nit is the reflection at the top left. Not sure if that is some artifact from cloning or my guess would be a reflection of the dried out sunflowers in the area. Either way, I am thinking to maybe clone those spots out. They tend to pull the eye a little form the subject.
