This is absolutely beautiful. I'm thinking that it might belp to crop it a bit more to eliminate the bright area in the water to the right , and to bring us closer to the bird.   Posted: 12/05/2025 18:34:10

Stunning shot. I agree with Arabella on cropping it, and am also wondering if a slight vignette might put even more focus on the subject. I love the softness of the bokeh, and the reflection really puts this over the top.   Posted: 12/05/2025 22:39:37

lTwo for the price of one! This is technically perfect. Great exposure with no blown out highlights. I love the placement and muted surrounding colors. The action tells a story which makes this more than just a wildlife shot. l would not crop the image. The brightness on the right, if it bothers you, could be burned in Lightroom. Congratulations on a great image.   Posted: 12/08/2025 15:06:58

A most gorgeous capture, Kathleen! I like it just as it is; for me the white bird provides plenty of separation from the background. The reflection is absolutely spectacular.
