Tobie:
Nice pose with splayed tail, good head angle.
Specular highlights off water can be a real challenge, and it is often hard to reduce their luminosity without them starting to look a bit unnatural. I am afraid of few of those are showing up in the image.
If I have some that I just can't tone down enough, and keep them looking natural, I will clone them out.
There are different feelings about the cloning bit, but something to consider.
Cheers

Pretty neat scene. I really like the tail feathers splayed on the surface of the water. Good pose overall and I like where you have placed the subject within the frame. I agree with Randy about the specular highlights and I would remove at least the one near the head and the ones near the top. Perhaps tone down the white patch on the bird too. Pretty nice overall.

Hi Tobie, lovely lookback pose from the little guy, and good to see his plumage drenched in water. I like the colours of the rocks beneath the water, and agree on removing some of the specular highlights. Im sure you came away with plenty keepers here.

Thanks for looking & the comments everyone! Extreme highlights removed where it matters most:

Tobie really like the running water and I do think the repost without the highlights improves the image,looks really natural ,like it a lot.
Cheers Keith.

I like the setting, fanned tail, colours and composition. Repost looks better. Well done Tobie.
