All comments welcome, I did not sharpen the RAW file at all and I gave 1 round of sharpening Smart Sharpen 50/0.1, after seeing the posted image I wish I had applied a little more sharpening. I was a little cautious because the wet plumage and water droplets can soon appear over-sharpened.

Good low angle Jonathan, and the comp works well. The bubbles being blown out the nostril puts this over the top. Somehow I feel this needs a slight CW rotation.

I wouldn't sharpen it any more Jonathan, but I might just lighten a fraction around the neck. Although at this size the compression might be misleading, when at full size the 'print' probably is spot on.;)

The low angle and the water droplets off the nostrils make this one a winner !!
