This is beautiful. The lighting and detail are great - the soft smooth bokeh is just right.

That blue is just stunning! It really sets off the bird beautifully without looking oversaturated. The brownish edges of the waves are a nice echo of the bird's color. Actually wish there were a few more of them to add a bit more interest to the background. Very nice overall.

Very nice. This is worthy of an Audobon book or National Wildlife calendar. Crisp focus and wonderful light. I guess it's supposed to be more about the bokeh, but I really love this and I'm not even a bird person. LOL
