    What a great image!!! Love it! Both birds look sharp with awesome detail, light and colours. Sweet BG too. If anything - maybe get rid of one catchlight and some more room on the right.

    Simply beautiful Frank, it's perfect.

    Amazing details on both subject, love the light and the head turn... love it.

    It's a wall hanger for sure.

    Stunning image Frank! Gorgeous birds bathed in sweet light. Great sharpness. And beautiful water. I'd also like a bit more canvas on the right and maybe a sliver off the bottom.

    Stunning image, Frank. Doesn't get much better; I'll just echo what the others have said above. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

    Outstanding image -- great reflected background. Positilons of birds couldn't be better.
    I really like this one.

    Gorgeous image, Frank. Lovely light on both faces really makes the image. Agree about the second catchlight.

    Hi Frank, good interaction from youngster to parent, and just love the overall light and colours. Both sharp, lots of detail, and I would just take some off the bottom.

    Great image Frank! I like the lighting, interaction, IQ and water colour. Agree with more room on the right.

    The repost is an improvement but I still feel it is a bit tight. Here is what I have in mind with some more canvas, on the right, bottom and top. I feel it can even be wider if you got the space. Also brightened up the BG a bit as it was a bit dark on my monitor.
