i really like the shot. if there was more space on the right, that may have helped, but that's just my own opinion for what it's worth. you've done a good job capturing this unique bird.
Oh cute baby - great pic. when the challenge is over, go back and darken his eye - its the same color as the water and makes me feel like Im looking through his head.
fantastic shot... look at it his little wings.. their so cute.. love how he is looking over his shoulder too.. this would also have been great in the textures challenge...
