Looking forward to your comments and critiques !

Cute. Sharp. Good exposure. Great eyes. Should have been a vertical.

later and love, artie

I must agree that a vertical would really make this a top image. That's not a hard fix. :) Looks like an OOF bird behind it though, it's not a big issue I think, just a little noticeable.

[Maxis Gamez]

Lovely,

Besides what already said, I think you did a great job keeping the whites well exposed and the water drop tells the story.

[Linda Robbins]

Really scores with the "cute" factor. Sharp and well-exposed. As suggested, a vertical would be nice and easy enough to do.

I really like the vertical repost. The low angle is also very nice.
