great poses. the reflections make this shot as well as having the foreground bird with his back towards us, giving a great view of the long white head feathers. His pose amuses me too - it looks like he's just a guy standing there with his hands in his pockets, watching the world go by. well done.

A photogenic pair captured nicely. Exposure perfect with flat lighting. Well done.

Nice composition. It would have looked much better if it was a bit sharper and brownish bits were't there. It looks a bit untidy. But well spotted.

Hrm, taken through reeds? The slight orange/yellow mostly on the lower right are a little distracting. The blue of the water is good, and I love the reflections. I dont know whether these are two different sized birds or just the perspective difference thing, but they appear different enough to be interesting, and helps the composition. They seem a little soft as if this is a crop from a much larger image, but there is fairly good texture in the feathers. Good shot!
