Comment by macrothing:
8 - Excellent colors. The color reflection on the water/bokeh is very nice and complements the bird and the composition well. The shadow play/placement is also very good. Criticism; difficult, especially to not contradict anything I've just said. A few small blown areas on the white feathers, but difficult to control and fairly minor. Perhaps a little more detail in the back of the head and the neck and maybe, not sure, 'wider', may have made this even better in my opinion. As for meeting the Challenge, there's a definite shape(s) there, it's just not the "most important aspect" of the photograph, in my opinion, therefore can't quite take it higher than 8. Maybe a crop variation may have enhanced the 'shape', especially the 'curve', who knows. Taking the liberty of adding to my favorites. Very nice shot.
