Hi John,
Lovely frame. Nice sharpness and well lit subject. Of course love the water drops. Excellent close up.

The thumbnail does not do this image justice.
Beautiful IQ and POV.
Love the quality of the light and the water drops.
You have made an ordinary bird look beautiful,

I always think that if you go for such a plentiful species such as this you need to produce something a bit special, and in this case I think you've achieved it. Great ultra low angle, superb light, and sharpness, but its the water droplets that really make the shot

Beautiful and well-detailed close-up. What's not to LOVE about this?
Low POV, details, the water droplets and the gentle tonal range. I am very pleased to keep looking.
TFS!

I agree the, the thumbnail doesn't do this Image justice at all. Love the Beautiful feather details and the Drop of water looks great too. Looks great in the larger size too. Well done
