Love these birds. Nice pose and lovely water color. I wonder if it's possible to open up the blacks on the head, or reduce the contrast a tad?

good pose and details, I wish the shoreline was not running so close to the head, a slightly higher shooting angle would have place the shoreline higher while also reveling more of the feet
