Hi Viv, love the low angle and eye contact. Well exposed, although the whites look a bit 'dull' - is this a juvie? I do like the drinking pose, bubbles and all, and the BG colours look great.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks Stu. Not sure on Juvie, looks like a adult to me but not 100 percent sure.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Added more brightness, hope it looks better.

The repost is much better and I think you could add even more brightness.
The low POV is what makes this shot.
The IQ is very good and I really like the water drops as he drinks. Cool tan and gun metal gray BG.
I am glad you included the entire reflection.I like the bubbles but would be tempted to clone out the dark blobs in front of avocet that do not look like bubbles,

Wonderful shot.
The low ange is superb.
Terrific pose, exposed very well, great detail, and great comp.
Very well done.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Low POV is killer in this one. Nice water and BG. Love the re-post.

[Jeannean Ryman]

Repost is much better. Whites look "white" now. :) Very nice.

Vivaldo:

Repost is sig. better, wonderful shooting angle.

In a perfect world, would prefer the large blue area towards the bottom of the frame have more of the orange tones of the bulk of the water.

In some ways, painters have it easier, they just tweak it to taste!

Cheers

Randy

Repost is very nice.
I also would clean up the bits that are not bubbles.
Very nice sheen on the water.
