Hi Eyal,
As far as I can give my opinion to a professional, I like everything in this picture, the colours, the composition, the well textured background, the ripples on the water that blur the reflection, and even the black frame that reinforces the colours.
Great !

Great piece--the simplicity is excellent, making the image of the bird even more powerful. Nice work with the reflection, and fine composition.

Thanks for this piece!

Ohhhh magnifique par sa simplicité et ces couleurs.
Cette eau orangée et cet oiseau avec sa réflexion...superbe.
Bien joué pour le crop et le cadrage.

super! great crop! the light is fantastic and magnifique colors! very nice focus on subject! excellent.

Eyal, another beautiful post with simple and very effective compostion. Great colors and lovely reflection of that beautiful bird. Great work again. L.

Very artistic. You have great attention to color.

Hi Eyal,
I like your picture very much! I find very nice the soft moving details of the pink water, and the dark contrast the "relaxed" walking of the bird and of its image. Great POV and very nice light.

well done, TFS

Hello Eyal,
It is and incredibly beautiful shot with so soft light and colors. The sharpness and reflection are amazing. The dark frame emphasizes the effect. The placing of the bird also creates a really aesthetic effect.
Congratulations,
Deniz

Hi Eyal,

I think that you have a beautiful shot here. The colors are beautiful, the bird is framed well and seems completely at ease (probably due to the 600mm lense). I agree, though, with Cuench, and think that your web address should be smaller so that it doesn't take away from the picture.

Hi Eyal,
At first glance, I thought seeing a bird in the middle of the desert.
Very beautiful color

Hi Eyal, A wonderful coloured capture of nature. The delicate bird reflected in the golden pool. The cropping is very well done. TFS. Murray.
