Very nicely done. I think any change (change not improvement) would be a subjective opinion - in my view of course.
I dont know these birds - so I couldn't tell if the bright neck is actually that bright. I might add a fraction more canvas to the top.
But really - thats all nit picking and unnecessary. The DOF works beautifully on this image. The composition is great.
Beautiful shot and beautiful bird.

I could use some more of that young lady! Time out is over.
That's just how the feathers look when the light hits them just right in the early morning in the golden hour light. Otherwise, they just appear to be that reddish brown. I have lots of pics with the feathers looking a goldish color.

Super image and yes, in the right hands an R7 can perform nicely. I agree with Winston that either adding some canvas or perhaps experimenting with a vertical crop could be interesting. Ironically, my best WL shot of the year came out the R7 +100-500 of a tri-colored heron in FL.
Thank you. I'm not at home right now to see if there was any more room to work with at the top (I don't remember if I cropped at the top) but I agree, a little more would look better, and a vertical crop would work well also.

I love the pose with the legs a bit further apart. Makes the animal look ready for action and hints at something going on out of the frame. Very nice!
Thank you! You're right, he was ready to pounce on some fish.
