    Jonathan it's hard to pick nits on such a fine image, but is that a shaft of light above the birds head? I really do like this, with the water action from the birds beak and also the colour of the water, great shot sure wish it was mine.

    Lovely image and great water droplets. I would crop a bit off of the right and bottom to draw more attention to your subject and water spray.

    I agree with Marina's cropping option, but all else looks great to me.

    Thanks for the feedback, I did in fact make two images and one was with the crop as suggested, perhaps I should have stayed with that one! I wanted to contain the ripples on the right and the compositional crop looks about right , but I think we all know rules are meant to be broken!

    The water droplets around the beak are great. I like the pose and the wonderful colors. The low angle works good.

    Just beautiful, Jon. The flying droplets add a whole lot here. Excellent techs. +1 for coming in from the right a bit, but no biggie.
