Can you get any shallower? Your off to a great start on this side challenge! Love the two tones of color and the light flares off the wet spots.

Comment by littlegett:
One of the better bird images in this challenge. I am very happy to see the detail was left in the feathers and not smoothed over. I also enjoy the contrasts and separation from background. However I do not care for the profile view nor the fact there is no hint, idea, or concept of sunset except for your title. For me it could be any time of day. However Because with this second look I can see how much detail was left I will bump the score a bit.

I love the background here. It's soft enough that it doesn't distract, yet is a beautiful image in its own right. Very nicely done!
