Thanks Mike. I'm a little envious of the backgrounds I see on others images though. I have to settle for a cinder-block wall. :rolleyes:

Really beautifully composed. Such an appealing bird.
You've done it justice.
I could easily hang that on the wall and enjoy.

Lovely bird. Such clean clear colours.
Love the purposed, probing pose these birds put on.
Beautiful composition.

Wow.
That is stunning.
Every part of it. Colours, water, reflections...
Such a magnificent detailed plumage.
Very very nice.
