I like the wing position, sharpness and nesting material. I might raise the color temperature a bit and wish there were a bit more eye contact. Does it need some CCW rotation?

Great colours and plumage with the wing pose, Stuart. Agree with Axel re CCW rotation as the reflections and ripples seem angled. Nesting material is a bonus and I like how the line of the stick echoes the line of the neck.

thanks agree with your assessment
