Hi, Stuart, I'd like to see the head a little sharper (or at least the eye) and the wing position isn't very flattering. Lovely reflections in the water.

My reaction is similar to Cheryl's. I like the colors and texture of the background, but I think I'd like the bird better if the oil paint (?) were reduced on it.

Your title is just right for this image. I chuckled when I saw it. :-) I wish there were more definition and contrast in the bird. I might also crop a bit from top and left. I do wish you would tell us what editing you did on the photos you present.

Wonderful bkgd of colors and textures. The wings of the bird are difficult to see as they blend too much into that bkgd. Good suggestions above. I really like the outstretched look of the bird with the long neck and the long extended legs.
