This is a very grainy photo. I am guessing that you added this in your lightroom. My personal preference would have been to see the unadulterated shot. That way I'd have been able to enjoy the beautiful lines of this bird and it's reflection in the water. I do like the composition and topic very much though.
good shot, Mike. Some minor things that I think would make it better though - the photo is slightly off keel. Rotate it so it's even and recrop. Secondly, if you can, include all of the reflection of the bird in the photo. And last, post a larger photo. I had trouble resizing when I first started so let me know if that's an issue. I think this one's got LOTS of potential.
This has real potential.It is a little grainy.I think it would be realy cool with a filter that made it into a impressionist painting.As it sits it still shows you have a talent for composition,elements and color:)
