Very pleasing lighting in the larger view. I like the fact that one can see the twigs in the bottom of the pool. You got a nice head turn here. Detail and color are superb.

Thanks both- appreciate your comments. I am always a little reticent these days when posting pool stuff for fear of boring people.
The problem is that it,s probably 90% of what Ido !!

Lovely shot, John. Great color palette, yet the bird stands out nicely. The spread tail for the bath is very nice, too. No nits from me.

I chased a report of this species all over Gambell, on St. Lawrence Island, but never saw it.

Beautiful detail, John. I like the sidelong look he's giving you. Very neat and proper for being in the bath.

I absolutely love everything about this shot! Great bird, great shot and doing something of interest. I love the focus on the eye and the play of the light on the water. Love it!
