Here is another image of the sequence of standing up after bathing. I am very curious to read your comments and to know if you prefer this or my previous post.

Handheld, laying in the mud and 10cm deep water
I love to see something different, and this is a superb pose. Great low POV as you often go for, which I like, and the water drops and the water coming from the beak really take this up a notch or two. Theres even a nice bit of eye contact to add a bit extra.
