Hi Allen
This is a nice series, with great eye contact and control of the blacks and whites.
Nice work.

Nice series, Allen. The dark green reflections on the water set most of the bird off nicely, except the bills which shows up better in the last image. These birds are so elegant that they make wonderful subjects.

All are gorgeous!! The first is my favorite with the lovely wing position and the to-die-for reflection! A wonderful series!

I like the open winged shots the best, but they are all wall hangers for sure. Reflections and exposure of the blacks and wjites are perfect. Well done…Jim
