Comment from Mitcham
This really stands out Willie.
Excellent colur and your usual fine detail.Glad you shot as you walked closer or you would have lost this. The intense concentration shown in the eye may have been to your advantage. Mitch

I see them alot when my husband and I go fishing on the White River but they don't hang around very long.
Comment from aunt_oma
I gave you six stars primarily because you accomplished a nearly impossible feat getting this close> And I know, I'VE TRIED! Additionally, your initial impact is great and you have good creativity of presentation. The color harmony is beautiful and there is a clear center of interest. The focus is sharp. Good job!

Some storytelling ability.

It looks a little dark, The problem is if you lighten it the white may blow on his head. Great focus and framing.

Comment from Robin L.
Great shot! It is very clear, and I really like his shape inside the frame. I love the soft background, nothing distracting, really allows him to pop right out! Glad he let you get so close :)
