Hi Mike for a second I thought it was the Super Star Pancho but I'm afraid he has gone to duck heaven !!!! Love the water splashing and framing just right for my taste !!! Excellent image !!!

Nice sharp image and composition. I really like the splashing water.

Beautiful!! I liked the bird and its pose.

This might be getting really picky but I find the 3 larger droplets at the left edge distracting. Other then that it's a wonderful photo.

This one is wonderful. There are droplets all around.....but most are in back of the bird.....thus giving a nice view of the him. Very well done.
