Splendid image Terri ... The pose you've captured is terrific against the dark inky water background. The bird stands out beautifully focused.

Nicely composed - subject just left of center so we imagine her moving into the frame. Good white and contrast. Nice and sharp. Only thing lacking would be some nice catch lights in her eyes for "life." Otherwise a superb image. anne :-)
