THis one is really nice Kat. I like the simplisity of the shot, the DOF and the lines of the cattails all pointing up toward the subject, very dynamically placed. I also like the background trasnition (darker area down to lighter area) occurring 1/3 down and complimenting the placement of the bird. ONly wish is that it was a tad sharper, you dont have the metadata but I'm wondering if you shot this pretty wide open may have affected your clarity a bit. Only one nit-pick, the small reed on the bottom L corner just sticking into the picture. Great shot overall though.

I like the shot a lot, but am not a huge fan of the square crop.

Wow! That shallow depth of field is so beautiful in this photo! It makes your subject 3-dimensional!

I love that bird. He pops out from the mostly light elements of the rest of the shot. I like the composition too.

Very nice. I'm liking the minimalist shots being posted the last couple days, and this is a very fine example.
