    Lovely light and nice reflection in the water Frank. Nice head angle & the water drops add to this image.

    Nice pose captured here Frank, particularly with the inward turned left leg.
    The water drop on the chest just about to fall adds interest.

    Nice light indeed, and I like that drop still clinging to the chest feathers. For me the pose is a bit awkward though, I'd have preferred the back half of the body to be more parallel to us and the legs not overlapping together. Nice BG and reflecting light off the water.

    Hi Frank, I actually like the pose as captured, and a great view of the curved bill these guys have. The single droplet does add interest, and although Im fine with the upper BG, I would have preferred it to be all the same as the lower half.
