    It is a real eye pleaser, Danny.

    The thumbnail doesn't do this justice.
    Color palette is lovely and IQ top notch.
    I would clone out the bright specular reflection in the water and on the bill.
    The water drop and the reflection within the drop are wonderful and take this shot to another level.
    Well done,
    Gail
    PS Maybe a hint of CCW rotation needed?

    Danny,

    Not sure you could have placed the water droplet any better. I agree with Gail about the specular highlight in the water reflection.

    I'd get this one printed!

    Stunning image Danny. Perfect low shooting angle, excellent colors and the droplet with the reflections in it is off the charts good.
    I too would evict the specular highlights in the refl.

    Very good shot with great low angle and fantastic light! The water drop on the beak is stunning.
