Sharpness, square format composition and exposure are perfect.
Excellent work. My compliments.

Hello John,
This is really good shot. The feathers are telling a story of their own! There are lots of interesting details, even to the bird's red eye! I like the blurred water, it makes a good b/g against which to view the bird!
kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi John,
You were certainly in the right place at the right time. This is very impressive. I love the way the bird is covered in weeds. The quality of the image is wonderful too. I am very impressed.
Cheers,

Hi John,
I wouldn't mind the fish but do I have to have the salad with it? Chips would be better.
