Very nice image. 

White neck?  I generally shoot auto exposure at -1 or -1.3 stops when shooting white birds.

Excellent shot. I like the semi-abstract treatment, the leaf is there and it isn't. The patterns in the water really feel like water. Thanks for sharing this image. 

Great to capture the birds doing more than just posing. We know what's about to happen here. Good job of getting down to their level. 

Very nice color and I like the feel of the rocks, mountains and sky. Water leave me a bit unsettled. Suggest crop tighter from the RHS. Overall, very nice.

Mary that's a different shot, unusual angle and pose, and it's very nice. 

Shun, that's a great image. 

Louis, this is a great image.

A very cute little girl. Of course, I'm biased; she's my grand daughter. But,

I would really appreciate critique/comments on making an excellent child

portrait. Thanks in advance!

Lighting is a soft box, bigger than her.
