    Like the splash and the open bill. Excellent sharpness too. I do wish the sun was lighting up the eye a little better though.

    Joe:

    Good comments from Vishal and Doug.

    If not done already, you might be able to open the shadows a bit.

    Cheers

    I like the bubbles, the splash and the calling pose. Agree that better lighting would have improved the image.

    Thank you all for commenting, as suggested, I have lightened the shadows a tad in this edit.

    I love the open billed neck stretching pose and the splashing water adds to the image. I would have liked a better angle for the sunlight although your repost with the shadows lightened has helped Joe.
