A lovely shot, Ross. No nits from me. The touch of green adds to the image.

Lovely details and you had nice muted light. I'd give it a tad more space on the top.

That spot sure gave good "painterly" water patterns at times. The greens indeed do add a lot of interest here. The overall warm and neutral tones all compliment each other nicely. The spot healing tool can often work very well on some of those small pesky oof specks in the water.

Like this a lot. Exposure and focus spot on, and the green weed certainly adds extra interest.

Lovely portrait and I agree that the delicate greens add a nice touch. Not sure about this suggestion, but I might apply a few points of brightness and see if that appeals. I would be interested to know how you sharpened this as it looks perfect, very natural.

Thank you all :)
Surprising what a little greens can do for a photo :) I thank you each for your suggestions and will try every one of them. Much appreciated!
Grace, regarding sharpening, I shot raw without sharpening in camera. Imported into Lightroom and applied the following which may affect the perception of sharpness:
Basic-Tone-Contrast: +13
Basic-Presence-Clarity: +10
Detail-Sharpening-Amount: 83
Detail-Sharpening-Radius: 1.0
Detail-Sharpening-Detail: 30
Detail-Masking: 0 (painted around bird and applied full NR instead)
Noise Reduction Luminance: 20
Upon export to Jpeg: Sharpen for Screen, Amount: Standard
Cheers,
Ross

Hi Ross, lovely low shooting angle, and I feel you have exposed this very well in the soft light. Good feather detail, sharp, and an interesting colour and texture to the water. The bit of foliage hanging out her beak adds interest. Well captured.

Thanks, Ross. I sharpen in photoshop, but similarly. I'll try it sometime in LR. Appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.

Nice looking image Ross. I like to pose with the greens and the complimentary watercolor. Details look great but I agree with Grace about bumping up the exposure a bit. Nice work
