Hi Axel,
I like the soft glow on the back and the subdued colors. I would've cropped the reflection around the "break" (about 1/2).

I like the exposure here a lot. The +1 gave you great feather color against a bright BG. I kind of like the extended leg reflection here, but I'm interested to know what other BPNers have to say about.

PMP from here. (Pretty much perfect.) Love the feint blue streaks in the water.

Hi Axel!

I like the feather color and fine details that almost look like blond hair! Nice reflection that made me look a few times to figure it out! No suggestions to add.
