Nice detail in those feathers. I do like the framing and that blue water background. The feather on the bill is nice.

Great job on the whites, love the texture of that head and the feather in the beak is an added bonus!

Hi Jon ... love the overall color contrast .
Good range of detail rendered across the range , which I really like .
Comp works well .
Maybe you can bring some more life into that eye ... just a thought .

Super shot, I particularly like the sharpening. Colours look superb.

Ditto all the positives. The colors look off to me, too rich with a funky blue BKGR and the head to YELLOW/GREEN.
