Great looking pose and I love that we can still see a sliver of the eye. I see what you mean about the horizontal line but it doesn't really bother me and it is pretty soft. Nice details throughout, especially under the wing on the RHS. I might be tempted to bring the blues down ever so slightly but personal preference I think. The couple of falling water drops are a nice touch as well. TFS, I really enjoy your loon images and this one is no exception.
