    Hi David, looks good to me. I really like the drops of water. I might remove the small piece of vegetation showing in the ripple, would have to do it and then evaluate. It draws my eye to it. Thank you for sharing.

    Yes, it is indeed serene. I don't mind the bit of vegetation as much as I do the linear highlight reflections. They are understandably part of the natural scene, but I find them distracting from the serenity.

    The drops are very nice, but the disengaged head angle makes viewer connection difficult, even with the lovely drops. The frame is also really cold/blue, so I would warm it a bit. It would also be nice to have some separation between the the reflection and bottom
    of frame, but it looks like you've got some other junk creeping in down there. So, you're kinda caught in the middle on that one!

    Hopefully warmed back to sunrise colors after WB. Thanks to all for valued comments.

    Nice capture. Like the pose and the light. Repost is very nice. I could see some taken off the bottom.

    I like the calm water and the droplet. soft light is very pleasing. some noise visible and the plumage is a bit soft but not bad for 4K ISO. the last one is the best in terms of WB for the time of day

    the main issue here the HA and the bird that's angled away from us

    Lots of valuable stuff above. The head turn away is an image-wrecker for me. From where I sit you either need less of the reflection or to include the foreground (mud?) Sharp and nice bird and water.
