Lovely eye contact. The red eye and beak look striking. Is there a slight tilt? Nice colours. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely. Why ISO 320? Was it far off? A higher shutter speed would have been better. The male seems to wear an unhappy expression. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

what a look in the eye. Good sharpness, It's difficult to get these birds in decent focus. Nice that he tolerated your presence for this shot, I would say wonderful looking at the clarity, sharpness and the full body above water. Thanks for sharing.
