    Nice one. I like the relatively low POV, the perfectly placed catchlight, the drops of water, and nice exposure. Composition works for me. No nits really. TFS

    Beautiful light on the bird and color on the water. Details are good as well. I generally prefer to be right at water level,
    but sometime circumstances prevent such an extreme angle. Texture on water is nice as it is though.

    I like it. From where I sit, the face and the upper back could easily go a bit lighter. SH, IQ, and Image Design (ImDes) are spot on.
