Beautiful detail in this one. Excellent light as well. I like the drop of water at the end of the bill as well.

Lovely light, perfect pose, wonderful soft FG/BG. Don't know if it could use half a degree of CCW rotation, but handsome image in any event. [edit: on second thought, ripples look pretty much horizontal.]

Mike,
A real beauty here. the Composition is superb and the soft pastel BG to die for. excellent exposure and detail. Outstanding on all accounts!
