Karl I like how it as thrown it's reflection, showing the head and tail nicely, bet they are a bit jumpy when there in the bath, great piece of work.

Cheers Keith.
PS did it get to the stage of real wet plumage?

Good stuff karl. Like the veg in the background- takes away that"sterile "look in my humble view. Looks like the light was a bit harsh too. maybe a teeny bit of shadow lift behind the bird but no big deal. I got one of these once but it was bathing in a dustbin lid at a hawk centre !!
Well done
John

Bird looks great, IQ is spot on. BG is a little busy, but who cares? This is just totally unique.

Excellent bathing pose you have here with spectacular reflection of his head and beautiful eye.
Beautiful colors, habitat and composition.
